NASB Bible

Song of Solomon 2

The Bride's Admiration

1

1I am the  2 arose of  bSharon, The  clily of the valleys."

2

1Like a lily among the thorns, So is  amy darling among the  2maidens."

3

1Like an  2 aapple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the  3young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, And his  bfruit was sweet to my  4taste.

4

"He has  abrought me to his  1banquet hall, And his  bbanner over me is love.

5

"Sustain me with  araisin cakes, Refresh me with  1 bapples, Because  cI am lovesick.

6

"Let  ahis left hand be under my head And  ahis right hand  bembrace me."

7

1I  aadjure you, O  bdaughters of Jerusalem, By the  cgazelles or by the  dhinds of the field,  aThat you do not arouse or awaken my love Until  2she pleases."

8

1Listen! My beloved! Behold, he is coming, Climbing  aon the mountains, Leaping on the hills!

9

"My beloved is like a  agazelle or a  byoung  1stag. Behold, he is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering  cthrough the lattice.

10

"My beloved responded and said to me, ` aArise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along.

11

`For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.

12

`The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for  1pruning the vines, And the voice of the  aturtledove has been heard in our land.

13

`The  afig tree has ripened its figs, And the  bvines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!' "

14

1O  amy dove,  bin the clefts of the  2rock, In the secret place of the steep  3pathway, Let me see your  4form,  cLet me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your  4form is  dlovely."

15

1 aCatch the foxes for us, The  2little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our  bvineyards are in blossom."

16

1 aMy beloved is mine, and I am his; He  bpastures his flock among the lilies.

17

aUntil  1the cool of the day when the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be like a  bgazelle Or a young stag  con the mountains of  2Bether."
