Song of Songs 2:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² “My love, among the young women
    you are like a lily among thorns.”

³ “My love, among the young men
    you are like an apple tree among the trees of the forest.
I’m happy to sit in your shade.
    Your fruit tastes so sweet to me.
⁴ Lead me to the dinner hall.
    Let your banner of love be lifted high above me.
