1 I am a crocus of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:1
2 As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:2
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, his fruit was sweet to my taste. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:3
4 He brought me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me was love. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:4
5 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am faint with love. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:5
6 His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:6
7 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:7
8 The voice of my beloved. Look, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:8
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young deer. Look, he stands behind our wall. He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:9
10 My beloved spoke, and said to me, "Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:10
11 For, look, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:11
12 The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:12
13 The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away." NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:13
14 My dove in the clefts of the rock, In the hiding places of the mountainside, Let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:14
15 Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:15
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:16
17 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether. NHEB — SongofSolomon 2:17
