The Bride

16 (A)My beloved is mine, and I am his;
He (B)pastures his flock among the lilies.
17 (C)Until the cool of the day, when the shadows flee,
Turn, my beloved, and be like a (D)gazelle
Or a young stag (E)on the mountains of [a]Bether.”

The Loved One

16 My beloved belongs to me and I belong to him.
    He is the one who shepherds his flock among the lilies.
17 Until the day breaks[a] and the shadows flee,
    turn around, my beloved,
and be like a gazelle or a young stag
    on the rugged mountains.[b]
