Song of Solomon 8 (CSB)

Song of Solomon Chapter 8 (CSB)

Compare with Version:

Isaiah

¹ If only I could treat you like my brother, [1] one who nursed at my mother’s breasts, I would find you in public and kiss you, and no one would scorn me.

² I would lead you, I would take you, to the house of my mother ⓔ who taught me. [2] I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranate.

³ May his left hand be under my head, and his right arm embrace me. ⓕ

⁴ Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you, do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time. ⓖ

⁵ Who is this ⓗ coming up from the wilderness, leaning on the one she loves? I awakened you under the apricot tree. ⓘ There your mother conceived you; there she conceived and gave you birth.

⁶ Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm. ⓙ For love is as strong as death; ⓚ jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol. Love’s flames are fiery flames ⓛ — an almighty flame! [3]

⁷ A huge torrent cannot extinguish love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all his wealth [4] for love, ⓜ it would be utterly scorned.

⁸ Our sister is young; she has no breasts. ⓝ What will we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?

⁹ If she is a wall, we will build a silver barricade on her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with cedar planks. ⓐ

¹⁰ I am [5] a wall and my breasts like towers. So in his eyes I have become like one who finds [6] peace. [7]

¹¹ Solomon owned a vineyard in Baal-hamon. ⓑ He leased the vineyard to tenants. ⓒ Each was to bring for his fruit one thousand pieces of silver. ⓓ

¹² I have my own vineyard. [8] ⓔ The one thousand are for you, Solomon, but two hundred for those who take care of its fruits.

¹³ You [9] who dwell in the gardens, companions ⓕ are listening for your voice; let me hear you! ⓖ

¹⁴ Run away with me, [10] my love, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices. ⓗ
