¹³ The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.

² As the lily-flower among the thorns of the waste, so is my love among the daughters.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

¹⁵ No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

⁴ You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, as fair as Jerusalem; you are to be feared like an army with flags.

¹ See, you are fair, my love, you are fair; you have the eyes of a dove; your hair is as a flock of goats, which take their rest on the side of Gilead.

¹⁵ See, you are fair, my love, you are fair; you have the eyes of a dove.

¹⁵ And the king made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedar like the sycamore-trees of the lowland in number.

¹⁶ And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt; the king's traders got them from Kue at a price.

¹⁷ A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

²⁸ And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.
