Song of Songs 7:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 Come, my beloved,
let us go forth into the fields
and lodge in the villages;
12 let us go out early to the vineyards;
let us see whether the vines have budded,
whether the grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.(A)
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and over our doors are all choice fruits,
new as well as old,
which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.(B)
Song of Solomon 7:11-13
Lexham English Bible
Rendezvous in the Countryside
11 Come, my beloved, let us go out to the countryside;[a]
let us spend the night[b] in the villages.
12 Let us rise early to go[c] to the vineyards;
let us see whether the vine has budded,[d]
whether the grape blossom has opened,
and whether the pomegranates are in bloom;[e]
there I will give my love to you.
13 The mandrakes give off their fragrance,
and over our doorway is every kind of delicious fruit;[f]
both fresh and dried fruit I have stored up[g] for you, O my beloved.
