Song of Solomon 2:15

Love for othersMarriageConflict and reconciliation

13 The fig tree ripens its figs; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come away, my darling; come away with me, my beautiful one.”

14 O my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is lovely.

Catch for us the foxes— the little foxes that ruin the vineyards— for our vineyards are in bloom.

16 My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

17 Before the day breaks and shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.
