Song of Songs 8:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 King Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon.
He allowed other people to take care of it.
They each paid him 1,000 silver coins for its fruit.
12 But my own vineyard belongs to me alone.
I take care of it myself.
You may keep the 1,000 silver coins, Solomon.
And I will give 200 silver coins to those who take care of the fruit.
The young man:
13 You have been staying in the garden
with your friends who are listening to you.
Let me too hear your voice!
Song of Songs 8:11-13
New International Version
11 Solomon had a vineyard(A) in Baal Hamon;
he let out his vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for its fruit
a thousand shekels[a](B) of silver.
12 But my own vineyard(C) is mine to give;
the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
and two hundred[b] are for those who tend its fruit.
He
13 You who dwell in the gardens
with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!
