Song of Songs 7:10-8:4
New International Version
10 I belong to my beloved,
and his desire(A) is for me.(B)
11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside,
let us spend the night in the villages.[a]
12 Let us go early to the vineyards(C)
to see if the vines have budded,(D)
if their blossoms(E) have opened,
and if the pomegranates(F) are in bloom(G)—
there I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes(H) send out their fragrance,
and at our door is every delicacy,
both new and old,
that I have stored up for you, my beloved.(I)
8 If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother’s breasts!
Then, if I found you outside,
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me.
2 I would lead you
and bring you to my mother’s house(J)—
she who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.(K)
4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(L)

10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
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.

11 Come, my beloved,
Let us go forth to the field;
Let us lodge in the villages.
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards;
Let us (C)see if the vine has budded,
Whether the grape blossoms are open,
And the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.

And at our gates (E)are pleasant fruits,
All manner, new and old,
Which I have laid up for you, my beloved.
Lovers Reunited at Their Country Home
8 Oh, that you were like my brother,
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts!
If I should find you outside,
I would kiss you;
I would not be despised.
2 I would lead you and bring you
Into the (F)house of my mother,
She who used to instruct me.
I would cause you to drink of (G)spiced wine,
Of the juice of my pomegranate.
(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)
