14 O my (A)dove, in the (B)clefts of the rock,
    in the crannies of the cliff,
let me see your face,
    let me (C)hear your voice,
for your voice is sweet,
    and your face is (D)lovely.
15 Catch (E)the foxes[a] for us,
    the little foxes
that spoil the vineyards,
    (F)for our vineyards are in blossom.”

16 (G)My beloved is mine, and I am his;
    he (H)grazes[b] among the lilies.
17 Until (I)the day breathes
    and (J)the shadows flee,
turn, my beloved, be like (K)a gazelle
    or a young stag on cleft mountains.[c]
