If only I could treat you like my brother,[fn]
one who nursed at my mother’s breasts,
I would find you in public and kiss you,
and no one would scorn me.
I would lead you, I would take you,
to the house of my mother who taught me.[fn]
I would give you spiced wine to drink
from the juice of my pomegranate.
Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you,
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.
Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on the one she loves?
I awakened you under the apricot tree.
There your mother conceived you;
there she conceived and gave you birth.
Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death;
jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames —
an almighty flame![fn]
A huge torrent cannot extinguish love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If a man were to give all his wealth[fn] for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
If she is a wall,
we will build a silver barricade on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with cedar planks.
Solomon owned a vineyard in Baal-hamon.
He leased the vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for his fruit
one thousand pieces of silver.
I have my own vineyard.[fn]
The one thousand are for you, Solomon,
but two hundred for those who take care of its fruits.
