10 “My beloved responded and said to me,
(A)Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along.
11 For behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
12 The blossoms have already appeared in the land;
The time has arrived for [a]pruning the vines,
And the voice of the (B)turtledove has been heard in our land.
13 The (C)fig tree has ripened its fruit,
And the (D)vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along!’”

M Arise,(A) my darling.
Come away, my beautiful one.
11 For now the winter is past;
the rain has ended and gone away.
12 The blossoms appear in the countryside.
The time of singing[a] has come,
and the turtledove’s cooing is heard in our land.(B)
13 The fig tree ripens its figs;(C)
the blossoming vines give off their fragrance.(D)
Arise, my darling.
Come away, my beautiful one.
