Song of Songs 8:8-14 NIV

Song of Songs 8:8-14

Friends

We have a little sister,

and her breasts are not yet grown.

What shall we do for our sister

on the day she is spoken for?

If she is a wall,

we will build towers of silver on her.

If she is a door,

we will enclose her with panels of cedar.

She

I am a wall,

and my breasts are like towers.

Thus I have become in his eyes

like one bringing contentment.

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon;

he let out his vineyard to tenants.

Each was to bring for its fruit

a thousand shekels8:11 That is, about 25 pounds or about 12 kilograms; also in verse 12 of silver.

But my own vineyard is mine to give;

the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,

and two hundred8:12 That is, about 5 pounds or about 2.3 kilograms are for those who tend its fruit.

He

You who dwell in the gardens

with friends in attendance,

let me hear your voice!

She

Come away, my beloved,

and be like a gazelle

or like a young stag

on the spice-laden mountains.
