Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Ecclesiastes Isaiah
Song of Solomon 2
2:2
As the lily among thorns, so [is] my
a
love among the daughters.
(
a) Thus Christ prefers his Church above all
other things.
2:3 b As the
apple tree among the trees of the wood, so [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat
down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste.
(
b) The spouse testifies her great desire toward
her husband, but her strength fails her, and therefore she desires to be
comforted, and felt it.
2:7
c I charge you, O ye daughters of
Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not, nor
awake [my] love, till he please.
(
c) Christ charges them who have to do in the
Church as it were by a solemn oath, that they trouble not the quietness of it.
2:8 d The
voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon
the hills.
(
d) This is spoken of Christ who took on our
nature to come to help his Church.
2:9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold,
he
e standeth behind our wall, he
looketh forth at the windows, gazing himself through the
f
lattice.
(
e) For as his divinity was hidden under the
cloak of our flesh.
(
f) So that we cannot have full knowledge of him
in this life.
2:11 For, lo, the
g
winter is past, the rain is over [and] gone;
(
g) That is, sin and error is driven back by the
coming of Christ, who is here described by the springtime, when all things
flourish.
2:14 O my
dove, [that art] in the
h clefts of the
rock, in the secret [places] of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me
hear thy voice; for sweet [is] thy voice, and thy countenance [is] comely.
(
h) You who are ashamed of your sins, come and
show yourself to me.
2:15 Take for us the foxes, the
i
little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines [have] tender grapes.
(
i) Suppress the heretics while they are young,
that is, when they begin to show their malice, and destroy the vine of the
Lord.
2:17 Until the day shall break,
and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a
k
roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
(
k) The church desires Christ to be most ready to
help her in all dangers.
