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 H2261 of Sharon H8289, [and] the lily H7799 of the valleys H6010.
[2] As the lily H7799 among thorns H2336, so [is] my love H7474 among the daughters H1323.
[3] As the apple tree H8598 among the trees H6086 of the wood H3293, so [is] my beloved H1730 among the sons H1121. I sat H3427 (8804) down under his shadow H6738 with great delight H2530 (8765), and his fruit H6529 [was] sweet H4966 to my taste H2441.
[4] He brought H935 (8689) me to the banqueting H3196 house H1004, and his banner H1714 over me [was] love H160.
[5] Stay H5564 (8761) me with flagons H809, comfort H7502 (8761) me with apples H8598: for I [am] sick H2470 (8802) of love H160.
[6] His left hand H8040 [is] under my head H7218, and his right hand H3225 doth embrace H2263 (8762) me.
[7] I charge H7650 (8689) you, O ye daughters H1323 of Jerusalem H3389, by the roes H6643, and H176 by the hinds H355 of the field H7704, that ye stir not up H5782 (8686), nor awake H5782 (8787) [my] love H160, till he please H2654 (8799).
[8] The voice H6963 of my beloved H1730! behold, he cometh H935 (8802) leaping H1801 (8764) upon the mountains H2022, skipping H7092 (8764) upon the hills H1389.
[9] My beloved H1730 is like H1819 (8802) a roe H6643 or a young H6082 hart H354: behold, he standeth H5975 (8802) behind H310 our wall H3796, he looketh forth H7688 (8688) at the windows H2474, shewing H6692 (8688) himself through the lattice H2762.
[10] My beloved H1730 spake H6030 (8804), and said H559 (8804) unto me, Rise up H6965 (8798), my love H7474, my fair one H3303, and come away H3212 (8798).
[11] For, lo, the winter H5638 is past H5674 (8804), the rain H1653 is over H2498 (8804) [and] gone H1980 (8804);
[12] The flowers H5339 appear H7200 (8738) on the earth H776; the time H6256 of the singing H2158 [of birds] is come H5060 (8689), and the voice H6963 of the turtle H8449 is heard H8085 (8738) in our land H776;
[13] The fig tree H8384 putteth forth H2590 (8804) her green figs H6291, and the vines H1612 [with] the tender grape H5563 give H5414 (8804) a [good] smell H7381. Arise H6965 (8798), my love H7474, my fair one H3303, and come away H3212 (8798).
[14] O my dove H3123, [that art] in the clefts H2288 of the rock H5553, in the secret H5643 [places] of the stairs H4095, let me see H7200 (8685) thy countenance H4758, let me hear H8085 (8685) thy voice H6963; for sweet H6156 [is] thy voice H6963, and thy countenance H4758 [is] comely H5000.
[15] Take H270 (8798) us the foxes H7776, the little H6996 foxes H7776, that spoil H2254 (8764) the vines H3754: for our vines H3754 [have] tender grapes H5563.
[16] My beloved H1730 [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth H7462 (8802) among the lilies H7799.
[17] Until the day H3117 break H6315 (8799), and the shadows H6752 flee away H5127 (8804), turn H5437 (8798), my beloved H1730, and be thou like H1819 (8798) a roe H6643 or a young H6082 hart H354 upon the mountains H2022 of Bether H1336.
Young’s Literal Translation
Song of Solomon 2 (YLT)
[1] As a lily among the thorns,
[2] So is my friend among the daughters!
[3] As a citron among trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit is sweet to my palate.
[4] He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me is love,
[5] Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I am sick with love.
[6] His left hand is under my head, And his right doth embrace me.
[7] I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!
[8] The voice of my beloved! lo, this-he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
[9] My beloved is like to a roe, Or to a young one of the harts. Lo, this-he is standing behind our wall, Looking from the windows, Blooming from the lattice.
[10] My beloved hath answered and said to me, ‘Rise up, my friend, my fair one, and come away,
[11] For lo, the winter hath passed by, The rain hath passed away-it hath gone.
[12] The flowers have appeared in the earth, The time of the singing hath come, And the voice of the turtle was heard in our land,
[13] The fig-tree hath ripened her green figs, And the sweet-smelling vines have given forth fragrance, Rise, come, my friend, my fair one, yea, come away.
[14] My dove, in clefts of the rock, In a secret place of the ascent, Cause me to see thine appearance, Cause me to hear thy voice, For thy voice is sweet, and thy appearance comely.
[15] Seize ye for us foxes, Little foxes-destroyers of vineyards, Even our sweet-smelling vineyards.
[16] My beloved is mine, and I am his, Who is delighting among the lilies,
[17] Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, Turn, be like, my beloved, To a roe, or to a young one of the harts, On the mountains of separation!
