The Lovers Speak

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:1 -

“Oh, that you were like a brother to me,

Who nursed at the breasts of my mother.

If I found you out of doors, I would kiss you;

No one would blame me or despise me, either.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:2 -

“I would lead you and bring you

Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me;

I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:3 -

“Let his left hand be under my head

And his right hand embrace me.”

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:4 -

(The Bridegroom)

“I command you to take an oath, O daughters of Jerusalem,

That you do not rouse nor awaken my love

Until she pleases.”

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:5 -

(The Chorus)

“Who is this coming up from the wilderness

Leaning upon her beloved?”

(The Shulammite Bride)

“Under the apple tree I awakened you [to my love];

There your mother was in labor with you,

There she was in labor and gave you birth.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:6 -

“Put me like a seal on your heart,

Like a seal on your arm;

For love is as strong as death,

Jealousy is as severe and cruel as Sheol (the place of the dead).

Its flashes are flashes of fire,

[A most vehement flame] the very flame of the [fn]LORD!

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:7 -

“Many waters cannot quench love,

Nor can rivers drown it.

If a man would offer all the riches of his house for love,

It would be utterly scorned and despised.”

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:8 -

(The Chorus)

“We have a little sister

And she has no breasts.

What shall we do for our sister

On the day when she is spoken for [in marriage]?

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:9 -

“If she is a wall (discreet, womanly),

We will build on her a turret (dowry) of silver;

But if she is a door (bold, flirtatious),

We will enclose her with planks of cedar.”

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:10 -

(The Shulammite Bride)

“I was a wall, and my breasts were like the towers.

Then I became in the king’s eyes

As one [to be respected and allowed] to find peace.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:11 -

“Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;

He entrusted the vineyard to caretakers;

Each one was to bring him a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:12 -

“My very own vineyard is at my disposal;

The thousand [shekels of silver] are for you, O Solomon,

And two hundred are for those who tend the fruit.”

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:13 -

(The Bridegroom)

“O you who sit in the gardens,

My companions are listening for your voice—

Let me hear it.”

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:14 -

(The Shulammite Bride)

“Hurry, my beloved and come quickly,

Like a gazelle or a young stag [taking me home]

On the mountains of spices.”
