The Beloved to the Maidens:
6:2 My beloved has gone down to his garden,
to the flowerbeds of balsam spices,
to graze
and to gather lilies.
The Lover to His Beloved:
6:11 I went down to the orchard of walnut trees,
to look for the blossoms of the valley,
to see if the vines had budded
or if the pomegranates were in bloom.
5:15 Drink water from your own cistern
and running water from your own well.
5:16 Should your springs be dispersed
your streams of water in the wide plazas?
5:17 Let them be for yourself
and not for strangers with you.
5:18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice
58:11 The Lord will continually lead you;
he will feed you even in parched regions.
He will give you renewed strength,
and you will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring that continually produces water.
61:10 I
I will be overjoyed because of my God.
For he clothes me in garments of deliverance;
he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication.

I look like a bride when she puts on her jewelry.
61:11 For just as the ground produces its crops
and a garden yields its produce,
so the sovereign Lord will cause deliverance
and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations.
31:12 They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion.
They will be radiant with joy
the grain, the fresh wine, the olive oil,
the young sheep and calves he has given to them.
They will be like a well-watered garden
and will not grow faint or weary any more.
6:3 So let us acknowledge him!
Let us seek
He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn,
as certainly as the winter rain comes,
as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land.”
6:1 “Come on! Let’s return to the Lord!
He himself has torn us to pieces,
but he will heal us!
He has injured
but he will bandage our wounds!
1:19 For God
1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross – through him,
1:1 From Paul,
