Isaiah 2

Isaiah 2 - King James Version

 1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

 2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

 3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

 4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

 5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

 6Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

 7Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

 8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

 9And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

 10Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

 11The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

 12For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

 13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

 14And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

 15And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

 16And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

 17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

 18And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

 19And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

 20In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

 21To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

 22Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

Song of Solomon 8

Song of Solomon 8 - King James Version

 1O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.

 2I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

 3His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

 4I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.

 5Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

 6Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

 7Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

 8We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

 9If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.

 10I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

 11Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

 12My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.

 13Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.

 14Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

Song of Solomon 7

Song of Solomon 7 - King James Version

 1How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

 2Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

 3Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

 4Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

 5Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.

 6How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

 7This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

 8I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;

 9And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.

 10I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

 11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.

 12Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

 13The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

Song of Solomon 6

Song of Solomon 6 - King James Version

 1Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

 2My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

 3I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

 4Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

 5Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

 6Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.

 7As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

 8There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

 9My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

 10Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?

 11I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.

 12Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.

 13Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.

Song of Solomon 5

Song of Solomon 5 - King James Version

 1I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

 2I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

 3I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

 4My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.

 5I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

 6I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

 7The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

 8I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

 9What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?

 10My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

 11His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

 12His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.

 13His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.

 14His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.

 15His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

 16His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Song of Solomon 4

Song of Solomon 4 - King James Version

 1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

 2Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

 3Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

 4Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

 5Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

 6Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

 7Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

 8Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

 9Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

 10How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

 11Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

 12A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

 13Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,

 14Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

 15A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

 16Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
