Oh that you were like my brother, Gal 4:26Psa 45:10-11Zec 9:9Hag 2:7Isa 60:14Isa 66:11-12Isa 7:14Isa 9:6
who nursed from the breasts of my mother!
If I found you outside, I would kiss you;
yes, and no one would despise me.
I would lead you, bringing you into the house of my mother, Sng 3:4Sng 4:10Sng 7:12Gal 4:261Pe 1:10-122Ti 3:15Jhn 5:39Jhn 5:46-47
who would instruct me.
I would have you drink spiced wine,
of the juice of my pomegranate.
His left hand would be under my head. Sng 2:62Co 12:9Deu 33:27Isa 62:4-5
His right hand would embrace me.
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, Sng 2:7Sng 3:5
that you not stir up, nor awaken love,
until it so desires.
Friends
Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, Sng 3:6Isa 40:3Psa 63:8Sng 2:3Isa 26:3-4Mic 3:11Sng 3:4Sng 6:10
leaning on her beloved?
Beloved
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother conceived you.
There she was in labor and bore you.
Set me as a seal on your heart, Rev 12:11Isa 49:16Php 1:20-23Hag 2:23Jer 22:24Jhn 21:15-19Num 5:14Pro 6:34
as a seal on your arm;
for love is strong as death.
Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. 1
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a very flame of the LORD. 2
Many waters can’t quench love, Pro 6:35Isa 43:2Pro 6:31Rom 13:8-10Mat 7:24-25Rom 8:28-39
neither can floods drown it.
If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love,
he would be utterly scorned.
Brothers
We have a little sister. 1Pe 2:12Act 22:21Ezk 16:55-56Psa 2:8Act 10:1Act 15:14-17Act 16:9Act 26:17-18
She has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
in the day when she is to be spoken for?
If she is a wall, 1Co 3:10-121Ki 6:15Act 14:27Act 15:16Eph 2:20-22Isa 58:12Isa 60:17Isa 61:4
we will build on her a turret of silver.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
Beloved
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, Ezk 16:7Isa 60:10Luk 1:301Ti 1:16Deu 7:7-8Eph 1:6Gen 6:8Pro 3:4
then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. Ecc 2:4Isa 7:23Gen 20:16Isa 5:1-7Luk 20:9-18Mat 21:33-43Mrk 12:1Sng 1:6
He leased out the vineyard to keepers.
Each was to bring a thousand shekels 3 of silver for its fruit.
My own vineyard is before me. Sng 1:6Act 20:281Co 6:201Th 2:191Ti 4:15-161Ti 5:17-182Co 5:15Pro 4:23
The thousand are for you, Solomon,
two hundred for those who tend its fruit.
Lover
You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, Sng 4:16Sng 1:7Jdg 11:38Jdg 14:11Jhn 14:13-14Jhn 14:21-23Mat 18:20Mat 28:20
let me hear your voice!
Beloved
Come away, my beloved! Sng 2:17Rev 22:20Rev 22:17Sng 2:9Luk 19:12Php 1:23Sng 4:6
Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!
