SONG OF SOLOMON
Chapter 8
Song | DRC | 8:1 | Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may despise me? | |
Song | DRC | 8:2 | I will take hold of thee, and bring thee into my mother's house: there thou shalt teach me, and I will give thee a cup of spiced wine and new wine of my pomegranates. | |
Song | DRC | 8:4 | I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love till she please. | |
Song | DRC | 8:5 | Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I raised thee up: there thy mother was corrupted, there she was defloured that bore thee. | |
Song | DRC | 8:6 | Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames. | |
Song | DRC | 8:7 | Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing. | |
Song | DRC | 8:8 | Our sister is little, and hath no breasts. What shall we do to our sister in the day when she is to be spoken to? | |
Song | DRC | 8:9 | If she be a wall: let us build upon it bulwarks of silver: if she be a door, let us join it together with boards of cedar. | |
Song | DRC | 8:10 | I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace. | |
Song | DRC | 8:11 | The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver. | |
Song | DRC | 8:12 | My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof. | |
