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.

Common English Bible
The ripeness of love
[Woman]
11 Come, my love:
Let’s go out to the field
and rest all night among the flowering henna.
12 Let’s set out early for the vineyards.
We will see if the vines have budded
and the blossoms opened,
see if the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I’ll give my loving to you.
13 The mandrakes give off their scent,
and at our doorways is every delicacy—
fresh or ripened—
my love, I have kept them hidden for you.
