← Song of Solomon 2:13	Song of Solomon 2:14 (KJV)	Song of Solomon 2:15 →
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines [with] the tender grape give a [good] smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.	O my dove, [that art] in the clefts of the rock, in the secret [places] of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet [is] thy voice, and thy countenance [is] comely.	Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines [have] tender grapes.
