Song of Songs 8:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 My vineyard[a] is under my control.
You, O Solomon, may have the thousand silver pieces,
and those who tend the fruit may have two hundred.
Bridegroom:
13 O you who dwell in the gardens,
my companions are listening for your voice;
let me hear it.
Bride:
14 Make haste, my beloved,
and be like a gazelle or a young stag
upon the spice-filled mountains.
Footnotes
- Song of Songs 8:12 My vineyard: i.e., the bride herself as in Song 1:6. It is contrasted with the vineyard of Solomon in 8:11. In what may be a satirical note, she offers Solomon the owners’ portion for her vineyard and two hundred pieces of silver to the tenants.
