SONG OF SOLOMON 8
O that thou
wert
as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother!
when
I should find thee
without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
2
I would lead thee,
and
bring thee into
my mother’s house,
who
would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice
of my pomegranate.
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.
11
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out
the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand
pieces
of silver.
12
My vineyard, which
is
mine,
is
before me: thou, O Solomon,
must have
a thousand, and those
that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken
to thy voice: cause me to hear
it.
14
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of
spices.
The Book of the Prophet
Isaiah
CHAPTER 1
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days
of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz,
and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth:
for the L
ORD
hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against
me.
3
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib:
but
Israel doth not know, my people
doth not consider.
4
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that
are corrupters: they have forsaken the L
ORD
, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger,
they are gone away backward.
