Song of Solomon 2:10-13
Lexham English Bible
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]

10 My lover said to me,
“Rise up, my darling!
Come away with me, my fair one!
11 Look, the winter is past,
and the rains are over and gone.
12 The flowers are springing up,
the season of singing birds[a] has come,
and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air.

and the fragrant grapevines are blossoming.
Rise up, my darling!
Come away with me, my fair one!”
