The mandrakes give forth fragrance. At our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have stored up for you, my beloved.

Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yahweh.

Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends

We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister In the day when she is to be spoken for?

Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.

My own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Solomon; Two hundred for those who tend its fruit. Lover

Hear, heavens, And listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.

Learn to do well. Seek justice, Relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, Plead for the widow."

But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, And as a garden that has no water.

Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, To the house of the God of Jacob; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled from the east, With those who practice divination like the Philistines, And they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.

For there will be a day of Yahweh of Hosts for all that is proud and haughty, And for all that is lifted up; And it shall be brought low:

For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, For all the oaks of Bashan,

For all the high mountains, For all the hills that are lifted up,

For every lofty tower, For every fortified wall,

For all the ships of Tarshish, And for all pleasant imagery.

In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver, And their idols of gold, Which have been made for themselves to worship, To the moles and to the bats;

Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; For of what account is he?
