Song of Solomon 8:12

Solomon
Love for othersIdentity and self-worth

10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.

11 Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.

But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

13 You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!

14 Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
