Song of Solomon 5 - Isaiah 1
New King James Version
The Bride Praises the Bridegroom
The Beloved
5 I (A)have come to my garden, my (B)sister, my spouse;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
(C)I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
(To His Friends)
Eat, O (D)friends!
Drink, yes, drink deeply,
O beloved ones!
The Shulamite’s Troubled Evening
The Shulamite
2 I sleep, but my heart is awake;
It is the voice of my beloved!
(E)He knocks, saying,
“Open for me, my sister, [a]my love,
My dove, my perfect one;
For my head is covered with dew,
My [b]locks with the drops of the night.”
3 I have taken off my robe;
How can I put it on again?
I have washed my feet;
How can I [c]defile them?
4 My beloved put his hand
By the [d]latch of the door,
And my heart yearned for him.
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
6 I opened for my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My [e]heart leaped up when he spoke.
(F)I sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 (G)The watchmen who went about the city found me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
That you tell him I am lovesick!
The Daughters of Jerusalem
9 What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
(H)O fairest among women?
What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
That you so [f]charge us?
The Shulamite
10 My beloved is white and ruddy,
[g]Chief among ten thousand.
11 His head is like the finest gold;
His locks are wavy,
And black as a raven.
12 (I)His eyes are like doves
By the rivers of waters,
Washed with milk,
And [h]fitly set.
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices,
Banks of scented herbs.
His lips are lilies,
Dripping liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are rods of gold
Set with beryl.
His body is carved ivory
Inlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are pillars of marble
Set on bases of fine gold.
His countenance is like Lebanon,
Excellent as the cedars.
16 His mouth is most sweet,
Yes, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved,
And this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem!
I Am My Beloved’s
The Daughters of Jerusalem
6 Where has your beloved gone,
(J)O fairest among women?
Where has your beloved turned aside,
That we may seek him with you?
The Shulamite
2 My beloved has gone to his (K)garden,
To the beds of spices,
To feed his flock in the gardens,
And to gather lilies.
3 (L)I am my beloved’s,
And my beloved is mine.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
Praise of the Shulamite’s Beauty
The Beloved
4 O my love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,
Lovely as Jerusalem,
Awesome as an army with banners!
5 Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have [i]overcome me.
Your hair is (M)like a flock of goats
Going down from Gilead.
6 (N)Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
Which have come up from the washing;
Every one bears twins,
And none is [j]barren among them.
7 (O)Like a piece of pomegranate
Are your temples behind your veil.
8 There are sixty queens
And eighty concubines,
And (P)virgins without number.
9 My dove, my (Q)perfect one,
Is the only one,
The only one of her mother,
The favorite of the one who bore her.
The daughters saw her
And called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines,
And they praised her.
10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning,
Fair as the moon,
Clear as the sun,
(R)Awesome as an army with banners?
The Shulamite
11 I went down to the garden of nuts
To see the verdure of the valley,
(S)To see whether the vine had budded
And the pomegranates had bloomed.
12 Before I was even aware,
My soul had made me
As the chariots of [k]my noble people.
The Beloved and His Friends
13 Return, return, O Shulamite;
Return, return, that we may look upon you!
The Shulamite
What would you see in the Shulamite—
As it were, the dance of [l]the two camps?
Expressions of Praise
The Beloved
7 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
(T)O prince’s daughter!
The curves of your thighs are like jewels,
The work of the hands of a skillful workman.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet;
It lacks no [m]blended beverage.
Your waist is a heap of wheat
Set about with lilies.
3 (U)Your two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle.
4 (V)Your neck is like an ivory tower,
Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon
By the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
Which looks toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
And the hair of your head is like purple;
A king is held captive by your tresses.
6 How fair and how pleasant you are,
O love, with your delights!
7 This stature of yours is like a palm tree,
And your breasts like its clusters.
8 I said, “I will go up to the palm tree,
I will take hold of its branches.”
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
The fragrance of your [n]breath like apples,
9 And the roof of your mouth like the best wine.
The Shulamite
The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved,
[o]Moving gently the [p]lips of sleepers.
10 (W)I am my beloved’s,
And (X)his desire is toward me.
11 Come, my beloved,
Let us go forth to the field;
Let us lodge in the villages.
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards;
Let us (Y)see if the vine has budded,
Whether the grape blossoms are open,
And the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
13 The (Z)mandrakes give off a fragrance,
And at our gates (AA)are pleasant fruits,
All manner, new and old,
Which I have laid up for you, my beloved.
Lovers Reunited at Their Country Home
8 Oh, that you were like my brother,
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts!
If I should find you outside,
I would kiss you;
I would not be despised.
2 I would lead you and bring you
Into the (AB)house of my mother,
She who used to instruct me.
I would cause you to drink of (AC)spiced wine,
Of the juice of my pomegranate.
(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)
3 (AD)His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
4 (AE)I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
Love Renewed in Lebanon
A Relative
5 (AF)Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you brought you forth.
The Shulamite to Her Beloved
6 (AG)Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
(AH)Jealousy as [q]cruel as [r]the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
[s]A most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
(AI)If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
The Shulamite’s Brothers
8 (AJ)We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.
The Shulamite
10 I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
(AK)He leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.
(To Solomon)
12 My own vineyard is before me.
You, O Solomon, may have a thousand,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred.
The Beloved
13 You who dwell in the gardens,
The companions listen for your voice—
(AL)Let me hear it!
The Shulamite
14 (AM)Make[t] haste, my beloved,
And (AN)be like a gazelle
Or a young stag
On the mountains of spices.
Judah Called to Repentance
1 The (AO)vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the (AP)days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
The Wickedness of Judah
2 (AQ)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 (AR)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [u]crib;
But Israel (AS)does not know,
My people do not [v]consider.”
4 Alas, sinful nation,
A people [w]laden with iniquity,
(AT)A [x]brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.
5 (AU)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
7 (AV)Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 So the daughter of Zion is left (AW)as a [y]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
(AX)As a besieged city.
9 (AY)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like (AZ)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers (BA)of Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your (BB)sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
12 “When you come (BC)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more (BD)futile[z] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (BE)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your (BF)New Moons and your (BG)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 (BH)When you [aa]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
(BI)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of [ab]blood.
16 “Wash(BJ) yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
(BK)Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke [ac]the oppressor;
[ad]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us (BL)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
(BM)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
(BN)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
The Degenerate City
21 (BO)How the faithful city has become a [ae]harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now (BP)murderers.
22 (BQ)Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
23 (BR)Your princes are rebellious,
And (BS)companions of thieves;
(BT)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They (BU)do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, (BV)I will [af]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [ag]take vengeance on My enemies.
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And (BW)thoroughly[ah] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
26 I will restore your judges (BX)as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward (BY)you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her [ai]penitents with righteousness.
28 The (BZ)destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For [aj]they shall be ashamed of the [ak]terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
31 (CA)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall (CB)quench them.
