Song of Solomon 8
KJV Easy Read Bible

1O that you were as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find you without, I would kiss you; yea, I should not be despised.

2I would lead you, and bring you into my mother’s house, who would instruct me: I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

To the Daughters of Jerusalem

3His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

4I charge youp, O daughters of Jerusalem, that youp stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.   adjure, urge

Love Renewed in Lebanon

A Relative

5Who is this that comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised you up under the apple tree: there your mother brought you forth: there she brought you forth that bore you.

The Shulamite to Her Beloved

6Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame.   fierce, intense;

7Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

The Shulamite’s Brothers

8We have a little sister, and she has no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

9If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

The Shulamite

10I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favor.

11Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

To Solomon

12My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.

The Beloved

13You that dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken to your voice: cause me to hear it.

The Shulamite

14Make haste, my beloved, and be you like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.   gazelle; stag
