Song of Solomon 2:1-17 HCSB I
am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Like a lily among thorns, so is my
darling among the young women. 3
Like an apricot tree among the trees of the forest, so is my love
among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to
my taste. 4 He
brought me to the banquet hall, and he looked on me with love. 5 Sustain me with raisins; refresh me
with apricots, for I am lovesick. 6
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces
me. 7 Young
women of Jerusalem, I charge you, by the gazelles and the wild does of the
field: do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time. 8 Listen! My love is approaching.
Look! Here he comes, leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills. 9 My love is like a gazelle or a young
stag. Look, he is standing behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering
through the lattice. 10 My
love calls to me: Arise, my darling. Come away, my beautiful one. 11 For now the winter is past; the rain
has ended and gone away. 12
The blossoms appear in the countryside. The time of singing has
come, and the turtledove's cooing is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree ripens its figs; the
blossoming vines give off their fragrance. Arise, my darling. Come away, my
beautiful one. 14 My
dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the cliff, let me see your
face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is
lovely. 15 Catch
the foxes for us--the little foxes that ruin the vineyards--for our vineyards
are in bloom. 16 My
love is mine and I am his; he feeds among the lilies. 17 Before the day breaks and the shadows
flee, turn to me, my love, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the
divided mountains.
