Song of Songs 8 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Sng 8:1Oh that you were like my brother, Who sucked the breasts of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; Yes, and no one would despise me.
Sng 8:2I would lead you, bringing you into my mother's house, Who would instruct me. I would have you drink spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.
Sng 8:3His left hand would be under my head. His right hand would embrace me.
Sng 8:4I adjure you, daughters of Yerushalayim, That you not stir up, nor awaken love, Until it so desires. Friends
Sng 8:5Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, Leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I aroused you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and bore you.
Sng 8:6Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as She'ol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of the LORD.
Sng 8:7Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends
Sng 8:8We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister In the day when she is to be spoken for?
Sng 8:9If she is a wall, We will build on her a turret of silver. If she is a door, We will enclose her with boards of cedar. Beloved
Sng 8:10I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, Then I was in his eyes like one who found shalom.
Sng 8:11Shlomo had a vineyard at Ba`al Hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
Sng 8:12My own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Shlomo; Two hundred for those who tend its fruit. Lover
Sng 8:13You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, Let me hear your voice! Beloved
Sng 8:14Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!
