In his shade I took great delight and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste. | 3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. | 3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste. | 3 As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate. | 3 As a citron among trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit is sweet to my palate. | 4 "He has brought me to his banquet hall, And his banner over me is love. | 4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. | 4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love. | 4 He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me. | 4 He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me is love, | 5 "Sustain me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, Because I am lovesick. | 5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. | 5 Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love. | 5 Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I languish with love. | 5 Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I am sick with love. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
