Song of Solomon 2
2
1I am the rose of Sharon,
And the lily of the valleys.
The Beloved
2Like a lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
The Shulamite
3Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
So is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down in his shade with great delight,
And #Song 4:16; Rev. 22:1, 2his fruit was sweet to my taste.
The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem
4He brought me to the banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.
5Sustain me with cakes of raisins,
Refresh me with apples,
For I am lovesick.
6#Song 8:3His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
7#Song 3:5; 8:4I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
The Beloved’s Request
The Shulamite
8The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes
Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
9#Prov. 6:5; Song 2:17My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Behold, he stands behind our wall;
He is looking through the windows,
Gazing through the lattice.
10My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
11For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
12The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
13The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!
14“O my #Song 5:2dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your face,
#Song 8:13Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely.”
Her Brothers
15Catch us #Ps. 80:13; Ezek. 13:4; Luke 13:32the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines,
For our vines have tender grapes.
The Shulamite
16#Song 6:3My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
(To Her Beloved)
17#Song 4:6Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved,
And be #Song 8:14like a gazelle
Or a young stag
Upon the mountains of Bether.
