Song of Solomon 2 (WEBP)

[1] I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
[2] As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
[3] As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, his fruit was sweet to my taste.
[4] He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.
[5] Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.
[6] His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me.
[7] I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
[8] The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
[9] My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
[10] My beloved spoke, and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
[11] For behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.
[12] The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
[13] The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give out their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”
[14] My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
[15] Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that plunder the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.
[16] My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.
[17] Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

Song of Solomon 2 (KJVS)

[1] I am the rose of Sharon, And the lily of the valleys.
[2] As the lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
[3] As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
[4] He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.
[5] Stay me with flagons, Comfort me with apples: For I am sick of love.
[6] His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.
[7] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, Till he please.
[8] The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.
[9] My beloved is like a roe Or a young hart: Behold, he standeth Behind our wall, He looketh forth at the windows, Shewing himself through the lattice.
[10] My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.
[11] For, lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone;
[12] The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle Is heard in our land;
[13] The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grape Give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
[14] O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the stairs, Let me see thy countenance, Let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, And thy countenance is comely.
[15] Take us the foxes, The little foxes, That spoil the vines: For our vines have tender grapes.
[16] My beloved is mine, and I am his: He feedeth among the lilies.
[17] Until the day break, And the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart Upon the mountains of Bether.
