Book 30 : KETUVIM - MEGILOT - SONGS - Chapter 008
08:001
Oh that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of
my mother! When I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, and none
would despise me
08:002
I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house,
that thou mightest instruct me; I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, of
the juice of my pomegranate
08:003
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand
should embrace me
08:004
'I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem: Why should ye
awaken, or stir up love, until it please?
08:005
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning
upon her beloved? Under the apple-tree I awakened thee; there thy mother was in
travail with thee; there was she in travail and brought thee forth
08:006
Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm;
for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave; the flashes thereof
are flashes of fire, a very flame of HaShem
08:007
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods
drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would
utterly be contemned
08:008
We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts; what
shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for
08:009
If she be a wall, we will build upon her a turret of
silver; and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar
08:010
I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof; then
was I in his eyes as one that found peace
08:011
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he gave over the
vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof brought in a thousand
pieces of silver
08:012
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me; thou, O Solomon,
shalt have the thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred
08:013
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken
for thy voice: 'Cause me to hear it.
08:014
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a gazelle or
to a young hart upon the mountains of spices
