Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon 7:11–13

¹¹Come, my beloved,

let us go to the countryside;

let us spend the night among the wildflowers.^c

¹²Let us go early to the vineyards

to see if the vine has budded,

if the blossom has opened,

if the pomegranates are in bloom —

there I will give you my love.

¹³The mandrakes send forth a fragrance,

and at our door is every delicacy,

new as well as old,

that I have treasured up for you, my beloved.
