Song of Solomon 2:3–6

Woman

3 Like an apricotE tree among the trees of the forest,

so is my love among the young men.

I delight to sit in his shade,

and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the banquet hall,F,a

and he looked on me with love.G,b

5 Sustain me with raisins;

refresh me with apricots,H

for I am lovesick.c

6 May his left hand be under my head,

and his right arm embrace me.d
