vw@Songs:8:1 @ Oh, that you were like my brother, who nursed at my mothers breasts! If I should find you outside, I would kiss you; I would not be despised.

vw@Songs:8:2 @ I would lead you and bring you into my mothers house, to teach me; I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

vw@Songs:8:3 @ To the Daughters of Jerusalem: His left hand under my head, and his right hand embracing me.

vw@Songs:8:4 @ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem: Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.

vw@Songs:8:5 @ A Relative: Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother travailed with you; there she travailed with you and bore you.

vw@Songs:8:6 @ Shulamite to Her Beloved: Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as Sheol; its flames are flames of fire, a flame of YAH.

vw@Songs:8:7 @ Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the rivers overflow it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be despised with contempt.

vw@Songs:8:8 @ Relatives: We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is spoken for?

vw@Songs:8:9 @ If she is a wall, we will build upon her a battlement of silver; and if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

vw@Songs:8:10 @ Shulamite: I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who found peace.

vw@Songs:8:11 @ Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon; he leased the vineyard to keepers; everyone was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.

vw@Songs:8:12 @ To Solomon: My own vineyard is before me. You, O Solomon, may have a thousand, and those who tend its fruit two hundred.

vw@Songs:8:13 @ The Beloved: You who dwell in the gardens, the companions listen for your voice; let me hear it!

vw@Songs:8:14 @ Shulamite: Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
