Song of Songs 2:10-13
Modern English Version
10 My beloved speaks and says to me:
“Rise up, my love,
my fair one, and come away.
11 For now the winter has past;
the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth its green figs,
and the vines their blossoms;
and they give forth fragrance.
Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
Song of Solomon 2:10-13

the rainy season[c] has turned and gone away.[d]

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]
