7. Water cannot put it out;no flood can drown it.But if anyone tried to buy love with wealth,contempt is all they would get.
8. We have a young sister,and her breasts are still small.What will we do for herwhen a young man comes courting?
9. If she is a wall,we will build her a silver tower.But if she is a gate,we will protect her with panels of cedar.
10. I am a wall,and my breasts are its towers.My lover knows that with himI find contentment and peace.
11. Solomon has a vineyardin a place called Baal Hamon.There are farmers who rent it from him;each one pays a thousand silver coins.
12. Solomon is welcome to his thousand coins,and the farmers to 200 as their share;I have a vineyard of my own!
13. Let me hear your voice from the garden, my love;my companions are waiting to hear you speak.
14. Come to me, my lover, like a gazelle,like a young stag on the mountains where spices grow.
