Longing for Her Beloved

O that you were to me like a brother

who nursed at my mother’s breasts!

If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you,

and no one would despise me.

I would lead you and bring you

to the house of my mother who taught me.

I would give you spiced wine to drink,

the nectar of my pomegranates.Sng 3:4

His left hand is under my head,

and his right arm embraces me.Sng 2:6

O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you:

Do not arouse or awaken love

until the time is right.Sng 3:5

The Friends

Who is this coming up from the wilderness,

leaning on her beloved?

The Bride

I roused you under the apple tree;

there your mother conceived you;

there she travailed and brought you forth.1Pe 5:10; Mat 8:25; Mat 12:49; Gal 4:19; Sng 3:6

Set me as a seal over your heart,

as a seal upon your arm.

For love is as strong as death,

its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol.

Its sparks are fiery flames,

the fiercest blaze of all.Jer 22:24; 2Ti 2:12

Mighty waters cannot quench love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.

If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love,

his offer would be utterly scorned.Rom 8:35; Rom 8:39

The Friends

We have a little sister,

and her breasts are not yet grown.

What shall we do for our sister

on the day she is spoken for?

If she is a wall,

we will build a tower of silver upon her.

If she is a door,

we will enclose her with panels of cedar.

The Bride

I am a wall,

and my breasts are like towers.

So I have become in his eyes

like one who brings peace.

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon.

He leased it to the tenants.

For its fruit, each was to bring

a thousand shekels of silver.Ecc 2:4; Mat 21:33

But my own vineyard is mine to give;

the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon,

and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.Isa 5:1

The Bridegroom

You who dwell in the gardens,

my companions are listening for your voice.

Let me hear it!

The Bride

Come away, my beloved,

and be like a gazelle

or a young stag

on the mountains of spices.Sng 2:9; Sng 2:17
