Song of Solomon 8:8-14 ▼

8 “We have a little sister, And she has no breasts; What shall we do for our sister On the day when she is spoken for?

9 If she is a wall, We will build on her a battlement of silver; But if she is a door, We will barricade her with planks of cedar.”

10 “I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; He gave the vineyard to caretakers. Each one was to bring one thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.

12 My very own vineyard is before me; The thousand shekels are for you, Solomon, And two hundred are for those who take care of its fruit.”

13 “O you who sit in the gardens, My companions are giving heed to your voice— Let me hear it!”

14 “Hurry, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of spices.”
