Song of Songs 2:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.(A)
2 As a lily among brambles,
so is my love among maidens.
3 As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste.(B)
Song of Solomon 2:1-3
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 M Like a lily among thorns,
so is my darling among the young women.
3 W Like an apricot[d] tree among the trees of the forest,
so is my love among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
