2 “Like the lily among the thorns,So are you, amy darling, among the maidens.”
(The Shulammite Bride)
3 “Like an aapple tree rare and welcome among the trees of the forest,So is my beloved among the young men!In his shade I took great delight and sat down,And his bfruit was sweet and delicious to my palate.4 “He ahas brought me to his banqueting place,And his bbanner over me is love waving overhead to protect and comfort me.5 “Sustain me with araisin cakes,Refresh me with bapples,Because cI am sick with love.6 “Let ahis left hand be under my headAnd bhis right hand cembrace me.” Deut 33:27; Matt 28:20
(The Bridegroom)
7 “I acommand that you take an oath, O bdaughters of Jerusalem,By the cgazelles or by the ddoes of the field which run free,eThat you do not rouse nor awaken my loveUntil she pleases.”
(The Shulammite Bride)
8 “Listen! My beloved!Behold, he comes,Climbing aon the mountains,Leaping and running on the hills! John 10:279 “My beloved is like a agazelle or a byoung stag.Behold, he is standing behind our wall,He is looking through the windows,He is gazing cthrough the lattice.
10 “My beloved speaks and says to me,‘aArise, my love, my fair one,And come away.11 ‘For behold, the winter is past,The rain is over and gone.12 ‘The flowers appear on the earth once again;The time for singing has come,And the voice of the aturtledove is heard in our land.13 ‘The afig tree has budded and ripens her figs,And the bvines are in blossom and give forth their fragrance.Arise, my love, my fair one,And come away to climb the rocky steps of the hillside.’”
(The Bridegroom)
14 “O amy dove, here in bthe clefts in the rock,In the sheltered and secret place of the steep pathway,Let me see your face,cLet me hear your voice;For your voice is sweet,And your face is dlovely.”
(The Chorus)
15 “aCatch the foxes for us,The little foxes that spoil and ruin the vineyards of love,While our bvineyards are in blossom.”
(The Shulammite Bride)
16 “aMy beloved is mine and I am his;He bpastures his flock among the lilies. Matt 10:32; Acts 4:1217 “aUntil the cool of the day when the shadows flee away,Return quickly, my beloved, and be like a bgazelleOr a young stag on cthe mountains of Bether which separate us.”
(The Shulammite Bride)
