Song of Songs 2:10-13
Legacy Standard Bible
10 “My beloved answered and said to me,
‘(A)Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along.
11 For behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over; it is gone.
12 The flowers have appeared in the land;
The time for [a]pruning has arrived;
And the voice of the (B)turtledove has been heard in our land.
13 The (C)fig tree has ripened its figs,
And the (D)vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along!’”

10 My beloved answered and said to me,
“Arise,[a] my beloved! Come, my beauty![b]
11 For look! The winter is over;
the rainy season[c] has turned and gone away.[d]
12 The blossoms appear[e] in the land;[f]
the time of singing[g] has arrived;[h]
the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her figs,
and the vines are in blossom; they give fragrance.
Arise,[i] my beloved! Come, my beauty!”[j]

- Song of Solomon 2:12 Most likely, a subtle word play occurs here since there are two different words in Hebrew spelled the same way: “pruning” and “singing.” The former plays upon the first line and the latter upon the third line
