Bridegroom:

14 O my dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock,
    in the sheltered recesses of the cliff,

    let me hear your voice.
For your voice is sweet,
    and your face is lovely.

Companions:

15 Catch the foxes for us,

    for our vineyards are blossoming.

Bride:

16 My beloved belongs to me, and I am his;[a]
    he pastures his flock among the lilies.
