Song of Solomon 8:3-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
3
Let
his left hand
be
under my head,
And his right hand embrace me.'
4
'Swear to me, you daughters of Jerusalem:
Do not disturb or awaken
my
love
Until she pleases.'
5
'Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning on her beloved?'
'Beneath the apple tree I awakened you;
There your mother went into labor with you,
There she was in labor
and
gave birth to you.
6
Put me like a seal over your heart,
Like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
Jealousy is as severe as Sheol;
Its flames are flames of fire,
The flame of the
Lord
.
7
Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor will rivers flood over it;
If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love,
It would be utterly despised.'
8
'We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts;
What shall we do for our sister
On the day when she is spoken for?
9
If she is a wall,
We will build on her a battlement of silver;
But if she is a door,
We will barricade her with planks of cedar.'
10
'I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers;
Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.
King James Version
Chapter 8
3
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
5
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
6
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
7
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8
We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9
If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
3
May his left hand be under my head,
and his right arm embrace me.
4
Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you,
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.
5
Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on the one she loves?
I awakened you under the apricot tree.
There your mother conceived you;
there she conceived and gave you birth.
6
Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death;
jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames —
an almighty flame!
7
A huge torrent cannot extinguish love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If a man were to give all his wealth for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
8
Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9
If she is a wall,
we will build a silver barricade on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with cedar planks.
10
I am a wall
and my breasts like towers.
So in his eyes I have become
like one who finds peace.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
3
Your left arm would be under my head,
and your right arm would embrace me.
4
Promise me, O women of Jerusalem,
not to awaken love until the time is right.
5
Who is this sweeping in from the desert,
leaning on her lover?
I aroused you under the apple tree,
where your mother gave you birth,
where in great pain she delivered you.
6
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy as enduring as the grave.
Love flashes like fire,
the brightest kind of flame.
7
Many waters cannot quench love,
nor can rivers drown it.
If a man tried to buy love
with all his wealth,
his offer would be utterly scorned.
8
We have a little sister
too young to have breasts.
What will we do for our sister
if someone asks to marry her?
9
If she is a virgin, like a wall,
we will protect her with a silver tower.
But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door,
we will block her door with a cedar bar.
10
I was a virgin, like a wall;
now my breasts are like towers.
When my lover looks at me,
he is delighted with what he sees.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
3
His left hand is under my head,
and his right hand embraces me!
4
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.
5
Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labor with you;
there she who bore you was in labor.
6
Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is strong as death,
jealousy is fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very flame of the
Lord
.
7
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his house,
he would be utterly despised.
8
We have a little sister,
and she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day when she is spoken for?
9
If she is a wall,
we will build on 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 eyes
as one who finds peace.
New International Version
Chapter 8
3
His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.
4
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
5
Who is this coming up from the wilderness
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
7
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
8
We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9
If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
10
I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
3
His left hand
is
under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
4
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
5
Who
is
this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she
who
bore you brought
you
forth.
6
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 the grave;
Its flames
are
flames of fire,
A most vehement flame.
7
Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
8
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?
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.
10
I
am
a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.
