Song of Songs 8

1 The love of the Church to Christ. 6 The vehemency of love. 8 The calling of the Gentiles. 14 The Church prayeth for Christ's coming.

 8:1 ¶ O that 5414 z8799 x4310 thou [wert] as my brother, 251 that sucked 3243 z8802 the breasts 7699 of my mother! 517 [when] I should find 4672 z8799 thee without, 2351 I would kiss 5401 z8799 thee; yea, x1571 I should not x3808 be despised. 936 z8799

 8:2 I would lead 5090 z8799 thee, [and] bring 935 z8686 thee into x413 my mother's 517 house, 1004 [who] would instruct 3925 z8762 me: I would cause thee to drink 8248 z8686 of spiced 7544 wine 3196 x4480 of the juice 6071 x4480 of my pomegranate. 7416

 8:3 His left hand 8040 [should be] under x8478 my head, 7218 and his right hand 3225 should embrace 2263 z8762 me.

 8:4 I charge 7650 z8689 you, O daughters 1323 of Jerusalem, 3389 that x4100 ye stir not up, 5782 z8686 nor x4100 awake 5782 z8787 x853 [my] love, 160 until x5704 he please. 2654 z8799 x7945

 8:5 Who x4310 [is] this x2063 that cometh up 5927 z8802 from x4480 the wilderness, 4057 leaning 7514 z8693 upon x5921 her beloved? 1730 I raised y5782 z8790 thee up x5782 under x8478 the apple tree: 8598 there x8033 thy mother 517 brought thee forth: 2254 z8765 there x8033 she brought thee forth 2254 z8765 [that] bare 3205 z8804 thee.

 8:6 ¶ Set 7760 z8798 me as a seal 2368 upon x5921 thine heart, 3820 as a seal 2368 upon x5921 thine arm: 2220 for x3588 love 160 [is] strong 5794 as death; 4194 jealousy 7068 [is] cruel 7186 as the grave: 7585 the coals 7565 thereof [are] coals 7565 of fire, 784 [which hath a] most vehement flame. 7957

 8:7 Many 7227 waters 4325 cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 x853 quench 3518 z8763 love, 160 neither x3808 can the floods 5104 drown 7857 z8799 it: if x518 [a] man 376 would give 5414 z8799 x853 all x3605 the substance 1952 of his house 1004 for love, 160 it would utterly y936 z8800 be contemned. 936 z8799

 8:8 ¶ We have a little 6996 sister, 269 and she hath no x369 breasts: 7699 what x4100 shall we do 6213 z8799 for our sister 269 in the day 3117 when she shall be spoken for? 1696 z8792 x7945

 8:9 If x518 she x1931 [be] a wall, 2346 we will build 1129 z8799 upon x5921 her a palace 2918 of silver: 3701 and if x518 she x1931 [be] a door, 1817 we will inclose 6696 z8799 x5921 her with boards 3871 of cedar. 730

 8:10 I x589 [am] a wall, 2346 and my breasts 7699 like towers: 4026 then x227 was x1961 I in his eyes 5869 as one that found 4672 z8802 favour. 7965

 8:11 Solomon 8010 had x1961 a vineyard 3754 at Baalhamon; 1174 he let out 5414 z8804 x853 the vineyard 3754 unto keepers; 5201 z8802 every one 376 for the fruit 6529 thereof was to bring 935 z8686 a thousand 505 [pieces] of silver. 3701

 8:12 My vineyard, 3754 which [is] mine, x7945 [is] before 6440 me: thou, O Solomon, 8010 [must have] a thousand, 505 and those that keep 5201 z8802 x853 the fruit 6529 thereof two hundred. 3967

 8:13 Thou that dwellest 3427 z8802 in the gardens, 1588 the companions 2270 hearken 7181 z8688 to thy voice: 6963 cause me to hear 8085 z8685 [it].

 8:14 ¶ Make haste, 1272 z8798 my beloved, 1730 and be thou like 1819 z8798 to a roe 6643 or x176 to a young 6082 hart 354 upon x5921 the mountains 2022 of spices. 1314
