Song of Solomon 2:9 in Context — Song of Solomon 2

7 Eu vos ordeno, filhas de Jerusalém: jurai pelas corças e pelas cervas do campo, que não acordeis, nem desperteis ao amor, até que ele queira.

8 [Esta é] a voz do meu amado: vede-o vindo, saltando sobre os montes, pulando sobre os morros.

9 Meu amado é semelhante ao corço, ou ao filhote de cervos; eis que está atrás de nossa parede, olhando pelas janelas, observando pelas grades.

10 Meu amado me responde, e me diz:[Ele] : Levanta-te, querida minha, minha bela, e vem.

11 Porque eis que o inverno já passou; a chuva se acabou, e foi embora.
