New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Song of Solomon 7
¹⁰ "I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me.
¹¹ "Come, my beloved, let us go out into the country, Let us spend the night in the villages.
¹² "Let us rise early and go to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine has budded And its blossoms have opened, And whether the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love.
¹³ "The mandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all choice fruits, Both new and old, Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.
Song of Solomon 8
¹ "Oh that you were like a brother to me Who nursed at my mother’s breasts. If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you; No one would despise me, either.
² "I would lead you and bring you Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me; I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates.
³ "Let his left hand be under my head And his right hand embrace me."
⁴ "I want you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem, Do not arouse 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 was in labor with you, There she was in labor and gave you birth.
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 flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the Lord.
⁷ "Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised."
