THE SONG OF SONGS
- We will enclose her with boards of cedar.
- 10I am a wall,
- And my breasts like the towers thereof;
- Then was I in his eyes
- As one that found peace.
- 11Solomon 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.
- 12My vineyard, which is mine, is before me;
- Thou, O Solomon, shalt have the thousand,
- And those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
- 13Thou that dwellest in the gardens,
- The companions hearken for thy voice:
- 'Cause me to hear it.'
- 14Make haste, my beloved,
- And be thou like to a gazelle or to a young hart
- Upon the mountains of spices.
