Song of Songs 2:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Flowers are appearing on the earth.
    The season for singing has come.
The cooing of doves
    is heard in our land.
¹³ The fig trees are producing their early fruit.
    The flowers on the vines are giving off their sweet smell.
Rise up and come, my love.
    Come with me, my beautiful one.’ ”

¹⁴ “You are like a dove in an opening in the rocks.
    You are like a dove in a hiding place on a mountainside.
Show me your face.
    Let me hear your voice.
Your voice is so sweet.
    Your face is so lovely.
