The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 8



1: O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.

2: I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

3: His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

4: I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.

5: Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought theeforth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

6: Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

7: Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

8: We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

9: If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.

10: I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

11: Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

12: My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruitthereof two hundred.

13: Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.

14: Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
Isaiah 1
