Song of Songs 5
5I came to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gathered my myrrh with my spice, I ate my honeycomb with my honey, I drank my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, drink, and be drunk with love!H935H1588H269H3618H717H4753H1313H398H3293H1706H8354H3196H2461H398H7453H8354H7937H17302I slept, but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."H3463H3820H5782H6963H1730H1849H6605H269H7474H3123H8535H7218H4390H2919H6977H7447H39153I had put off my garment; how could I put it on? I had bathed my feet; how could I soil them?H6584H3801H349H3847H7364H7272H349H29364My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.H1730H7971H3027H4480H2356H4578H19935I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the bolt.H6965H6605H1730H3027H5197H4753H676H5674H4753H3709H45146I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer.H6605H1730H1730H2559H5674H5315H3318H1696H1245H4672H7121H60307The watchmen found me as they went about in the city; they beat me, they bruised me, they took away my veil, those watchmen of the walls.H8104H5437H5892H4672H5221H6481H8104H2346H5375H72898I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.H7650H1323H3389H4672H1730H5046H2470H1609What is your beloved more than another beloved, O most beautiful among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us?H1730H1730H3303H802H1730H1730H3602H765010My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.H1730H6703H122H1713H723311His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven.H7218H3800H6337H6977H8534H7838H615812His eyes are like doves beside streams of water, bathed in milk, sitting beside a full pool.H5869H3123H650H4325H7364H2461H3427H440213His cheeks are like beds of spices, mounds of sweet-smelling herbs. His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh.H3895H6170H1314H4840H4026H8193H7799H5197H5674H475314His arms are rods of gold, set with jewels. His body is polished ivory, bedecked with sapphires.H3027H2091H1550H4390H8658H4578H6247H8127H5968H560115His legs are alabaster columns, set on bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.H7785H5982H8336H3245H134H6337H4758H3844H977H73016His mouth is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.H2441H4477H4261H1730H7453H1323H3389

6Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?H1730H1980H3303H802H1730H6437H12452My beloved has gone down to his garden to the beds of spices, to graze in the gardens and to gather lilies.H1730H3381H1588H6170H1314H7462H1588H3950H77993I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies.H1730H1730H7462H77994You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.H3303H7474H8656H5000H3389H366H17135Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me— Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead.H5437H5869H1992H7292H8181H5739H5795H1570H15686Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing; all of them bear twins; not one among them has lost its young.H8127H5739H7353H5927H7367H8382H79097Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.H6400H7416H7541H1157H67778There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.H8346H4436H8084H6370H5959H45579My dove, my perfect one, is the only one, the only one of her mother, pure to her who bore her. The young women saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.H3123H8535H259H259H517H1249H3205H1323H7200H833H4436H6370H198410"Who is this who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?"H8259H7837H3303H3842H1249H2535H366H171311I went down to the nut orchard to look at the blossoms of the valley, to see whether the vines had budded, whether the pomegranates were in bloom.H3381H1594H93H7200H3H5158H7200H1612H6524H7416H513212Before I was aware, my desire set me among the chariots of my kinsman, a prince.H3045H5315H7760H4818H599313Return, return, O Shulammite, return, return, that we may look upon you. Why should you look upon the Shulammite, as upon a dance before two armies?H7725H7725H7759H7725H7725H2372H2372H7759H4246H4264

8Oh that you were like a brother to me who nursed at my mother's breasts! If I found you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me.H5414H251H3243H7699H517H4672H2351H5401H9362I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother— she who used to teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the juice of my pomegranate.H5090H935H517H1004H3925H8248H7544H3196H6071H74163His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!H8040H7218H3225H22634I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.H7650H1323H3389H5782H5782H160H26545Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother was in labor with you; there she who bore you was in labor.H5927H4057H7514H1730H5782H8598H517H2254H2254H32056Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.H7760H2368H3820H2368H2220H160H5794H4194H7068H7186H7585H7565H7565H784H79577Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.

What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for?H6996H269H7699H6213H269H3117H16969If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver, but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.H2346H1129H2918H3701H1817H6696H3871H73010I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who finds peace.H2346H7699H4026H5869H4672H796511Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.H8010H3754H1174H5414H3754H5201H376H6529H935H505H370112My vineyard, my very own, is before me; you, O Solomon, may have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.H3754H6440H8010H505H5201H6529H396713O you who dwell in the gardens, with companions listening for your voice; let me hear it.H3427H1588H2270H7181H6963H808514Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.H1272H1730H1819H6643H6082H354H2022H1314
