SongofSolomon - Chapter 2 | New King James Version

  • 1. I am the rose of Sharon, And the lily of the valleys.
  • 2. The Beloved Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
  • 3. The Shulamite Like 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 his fruit was sweet to my taste.
  • 4. The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.
  • 5. Sustain me with cakes of raisins, Refresh me with apples, For I am lovesick.
  • 6. His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.
  • 7. I 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.
  • 8. The Shulamite The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.
  • 9. My 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.
  • 10. My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.
  • 11. For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.
  • 12. The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.
  • 13. The 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 dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely."
  • 15. Her Brothers Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.
  • 16. The Shulamite My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies.
  • 17. (To Her Beloved) Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle Or a young stag Upon the mountains of Bether. {cf2super [8]}
