Song of Solomon 2

A Country Girl in a Palace

2 I am the rose of Sharon,
And the lily of the valleys.
The Beloved

2 Like a lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
The Shulamite

3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
So is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down in his shade with great delight,
And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem

4 He brought me to the [a]banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.

5 Sustain me with cakes of raisins,
Refresh me with apples,
For I am lovesick.

6 His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.

7 I [b]charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
The Beloved’s Request
The Shulamite

8 The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes
Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.

9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Behold, he stands behind our wall;
He is looking through the windows,
Gazing through the lattice.

10 My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.

11 For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.

12 The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.

13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!

14 “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your [c]face,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely.”
Her Brothers

15 Catch us the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines,
For our vines have tender grapes.
The Shulamite

16 My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
(To Her Beloved)

17 Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved,
And be like a gazelle
Or a young stag
Upon the mountains of [d]Bether.

One of the most misunderstood books in Bible. It is the outward expression between two lovers. It may also be seen as a deep inner expression of out pouring of pure love, a man for his bride. A bride in symbolism of Christ’s love for his church, his holy and just people, his bride.
Song of Solomon was nearly left out of Bible because it is so sensual. Enjoy the reading of the book with your bride.

Ephesians 5:22-33

Marriage Like Christ and the Church

22 Wives, be subject [a]to your own husbands, as [a service] to the Lord.

23 For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body.

24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything [respecting both their position as protector and their responsibility to God as head of the house].

25 Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

26 so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God],

27 so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless.

28 Even so husbands should and are morally obligated to love their own wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

29 For no one ever hated his own body, but [instead] he nourishes and protects and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

30 because we are members (parts) of His body.

31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [and be faithfully devoted] to his wife, and the two shall become [b]one flesh.

32 This mystery [of two becoming one] is great; but I am speaking with reference to [the relationship of] Christ and the church.

33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear].
