Lo, this--he is standing behind our wall, Looking from the windows, Blooming from the lattice. 10My beloved hath answered and said to me, `Rise up, my friend, my fair one, and come away, 11For lo, the winter hath passed by, The rain hath passed away--it hath gone. 12The flowers have appeared in the earth, The time of the singing hath come, And the voice of the turtle was heard in our land, 13The fig-tree hath ripened her green figs, And the sweet-smelling vines have given forth fragrance, Rise, come, my friend, my fair one, yea, come away. 14My dove, in clefts of the rock, In a secret place of the ascent, Cause me to see thine appearance, Cause me to hear thy voice, For thy voice is sweet, and thy appearance comely. 15Seize ye for us foxes, Little foxes--destroyers of vineyards, Even our sweet-smelling vineyards. 16My beloved is mine, and I am his, Who is delighting among the lilies, 17Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, Turn, be like, my beloved, To a roe, or to a young one of the harts, On the mountains of separation! ‹Previous chapterSong of Solomon 1Next chapterSong of Solomon 3›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsSong of Solomon 2 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
