Songs 8:8-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. We have a little sister,and she has no breasts.What will we do for our sisteron the day when she is spoken for?

9. If she is a wall,we will build upon her a battlement of silver;but if she is a door,we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

10. I was a wall,and my breasts were like towers;then I was in his eyesas one who finds peace.

11. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;he leased the vineyard to keepers;each man was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.

12. My vineyard, my very own, is before me;you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.

13. O you who dwell in the gardens,my companions listen for your voice;let me hear it!

14. Make haste, my beloved,and be like a gazelle or a young stagon the mountains of spices!
