Song of Songs 2:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
The young man:
2 Among the other young women,
my dear friend is like a lily
that grows among thorn bushes.[a]
The young woman:[b]
3 Among the other young men,
my lover is like an apple tree
that grows among the trees of the forest.[c]
I love to sit in his shade.
His fruit is sweet when I taste it.
4 He has taken me to the room for feasts.
Everyone can see that he loves me.
