New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Song of Solomon 2
12 ’The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
13 ’The fig tree has ripened its figs, And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!’"
14 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret place of the steep pathway, Let me see your form, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your form is lovely."
15 "Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom."
16 "My beloved is mine, and I am his; He pastures his flock among the lilies.
17 "Until the cool of the day when the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle Or a young stag on the mountains of Bether."
Song of Solomon 3
1 "On my bed night after night I sought him Whom my soul loves; I sought him but did not find him.
2 ’I must arise now and go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I must seek him whom my soul loves.’ I sought him but did not find him.
3 "The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me, And I said, ’Have you seen him whom my soul loves?’
4 "Scarcely had I left them When I found him whom my soul loves; I held on to him and would not let him go Until I had brought him to my mother’s house, And into the room of her who conceived me."
5 "I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the hinds of the field, That you will not arouse or awaken my love Until she pleases."
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
