SONG OF SOLOMON
Chapter 8
Song | Webster | 8:1 | O that thou [wert] as my brother, that was nourished at the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yes, I should not be despised. | |
Song | Webster | 8:2 | I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother's house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. | |
Song | Webster | 8:4 | I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not, nor awake [my] love, until he please. | |
Song | Webster | 8:5 | Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple-tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bore thee. | |
Song | Webster | 8:6 | Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals of it [are] coals of fire, [which hath] a most vehement flame. | |
Song | Webster | 8:7 | Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. | |
Song | Webster | 8:8 | We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? | |
Song | Webster | 8:9 | If she [is] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [is] a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. | |
Song | Webster | 8:10 | I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favor. | |
Song | Webster | 8:11 | Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; every one for the fruit of it was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver. | |
Song | Webster | 8:12 | My vineyard which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O Solomon, [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit of it two hundred. | |
Song | Webster | 8:13 | Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it]. | |
