Cantares de Salomâo 8:8-14

Irmãos

8 Temos uma irmãzinha;seus seios ainda não estão crescidos.Que faremos com nossa irmãno dia em que for pedida em casamento?

9 Se ela for um muro,construiremos sobre ela uma torre de prata.Se ela for uma porta,nós a reforçaremos com tábuas de cedro.

A Amada

10 Eu sou um muro,e meus seios são as suas torres.Assim me tornei aos olhos delecomo alguém que inspira paz.

11 Salomão possuía uma vinha em Baal-Hamom;ele entregou a sua vinha a arrendatários.Cada um devia trazer pelos frutos da vinhadoze quilos^[a] de prata.

12 Quanto à minha própria vinha, essa está em meu poder;os doze quilos de prata são para você, ó Salomão,e dois quilos e meio são para os que tomaram conta dos seus frutos.

O Amado

13 Você, que habita nos jardins,os amigos desejam ouvi-la;deixe-me ouvir a sua voz!

A Amada

14 Venha depressa, meu amado,e seja como uma gazela,ou como um cervo novosaltando sobre os montes cobertos de especiarias.

Cantares de Salomâo 8:8-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 8

This chapter begins with an ardent wish of the church for a free and intimate converse with Christ; declaring what she would do to him, and for him, should she have such an interview with him, So 8:1,2; what familiarity should be between them, So 8:3; charging the daughters of Jerusalem not to give him any disturbance, So 8:4. Upon which they inquire who she was that was in such a posture they saw her in, So 8:5; when the church, instead of giving them an answer, says some things concerning her beloved, on whom they saw her leaning; and makes some requests to him for more nearness to him, and manifestations of his love to her; urged from the strength her love and affections to him, which was invincible, So 8:6,7. Next follows a speech of the church about her little sister; expressing a concern for her, and what she would do to her and with her, So 8:8,9; and the answer of the little sister, declaring what she, was, and what she enjoyed, So 8:10; then the words of the church again, concerning her husband's vineyard; the place, keepers, and profit of it, So 8:11,12. And the chapter, and with it the Song, is concluded with a request of Christ to the church, that he might hear her voice, So 8:13; and with a petition of hers to him, that he would come quickly to her, So 8:14.
