5. Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I aroused you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and bore you.
6. Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh.
7. Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
8. We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is to be spoken for?
9. If she is a wall, we will build on her a turret of silver. if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10. I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
11. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
