15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes,
That spoil the vineyards;
For our vineyards are in blossom.
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his:
He feedeth his flock among the lilies.
17 [a]Until the day [b]be cool, and the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved, and be thou like a [c]roe or a young hart
Upon the [d]mountains of [e]Bether.
