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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Come 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ How 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!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Thy 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Awake, 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ They that were foolish took their their lamps, and took no oil with them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Jesus said unto them, Can Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Afterward Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And Jesus said unto them, them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot cannot fast.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And he said unto them, them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: but the servants which drew the water knew; the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
