BRAGADAYJAH 1666

BRAGADAHJAH 1666. Song of Solomon 6: Verses 1-7. Wither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? Wither is thy beloved turned aside? That we may seek him wit thee. My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather leaves. I am my beloved, and my beloved is mine; he feedeth among the lilies. Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me; thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from Gilead. Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof everyone beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them. As a piece of pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

BRAGADAYJAH 1665

BRAGADAYJAH 1665 Song of Solomon 5: Verses 12-17 His eyes are as the eyes of doves, by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers; his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. His hands as gold rings set with the beryl; his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold; his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. His mouth is most sweet; yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem

BRAGADAYJAH 1664

BRAGADAYJAH 1664 Song of Solomon 5: 7-11 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him that I am sick of love. What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. His head us as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

BRAGADAYJAH 1663

BRAGADAYJAH. 1663 Song of Solomon 5: Verses 1-6 I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk; eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly O beloved. I, but my heart waketh; it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself and was gone; my soul failed when he spake, I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

BRAGADAYJAH 1662

BRAGADAYJAH 1662 Song of Solomon 4:9-16 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! How much better is thy love, than wine! And the smell of thine ointment than all spices! Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb; honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garment is like the smell of Lebanon. A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; campfire, with spikenard, spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices; a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. Awake, O North wind; and come, thou South; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden and eat his pleasant fruit.

BRAGADAYJAH 1661

BRAGADAYJAH 1661 Songs of Solomon 4: Verses 1-8 Beloved, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes, within thy locks; thy hair is a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof everyone bear twins, and none is barren among them. Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely; thy temples are like a piece of pomegranate within thy locks. Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon; look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir, and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

BRAGADAYJAH 1660

BRAGADAYJAH 1660 Songs of Solomon 3: Verses 6-11 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchants? Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; three score valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. They all hold swords, being expert in war; every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousal and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

BRAGADAYJAH 1659

BRAGADAYJAH 1659 Songs of Solomon Chapter 3: Verses 1 -5 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but I found him not. I will rise now and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth; I sought him but I found him not. The watchmen that go about the city found me; to whom I said, “Saw ye him whom my soul loveth” It was but a little that I passed from them; but I found him whom my soul loveth. I held him and would not let him go, until I brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. I charge thee, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

BRAGADAYJAH 1658

BRAGADAYJAH 1658 Song of Solomon. Chapter 2: Verses 9-17 My beloved is like a roe or young hart, behold he standeth behind our wall; he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice. My beloved spake and said unto me, “Rise up my love, my fair one and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.” The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vine with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise my love, my fair one and come away. O my dove that art in the cleft 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. Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes. My beloved is mine and I am his, he feedeth among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn my beloved and be like a roe, or young hart upon the mountains of Bether.”

BRAGADAYJAH 1657

BRAGADAYJAH 1657 Songs of Solomon Chapter 2 Verses 1-8 I am the Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the valley. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 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. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples; for I am sick of love. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains skipping upon the hills.

BRAGADAYJAH 1656

BRAGADAYJAH 1656 Songs of Solomon Verses 12-17 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyard of En-gedi. Beloved, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hath doves’ eyes. Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our bed is green. The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.

BRAGADAYJAH 1655

BRAGADAYJAH 1655 Songs of Solomon Verses 6 -11 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me; my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedeth, where thou maketh thy flock to rest at noon; for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flock of thy companions? If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherd’s tent. I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariot. Thy cheeks are comely, with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. We will make thee, borders of gold with studs of silver.

BRAGADAYJAH 1654

BRAGADAYJAH 1654 Songs of Solomon. Verses 1-5 The songs of Solomon, which is Solomon’s. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is better than wine. Because of the savour of thy good ointments, thy name is as ointment poured forth; therefore, do the virgins love thee. Draw me, we will run after thee, the king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in thee. We will remember thy love more than wine. The upright love thee. I am black and comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kadar, as the curtains of Solomon.

BRAGADAYJAH 1653

BRAGADAYJAH 1653. The Preacher extols and contrasts wisdom and folly, and postulates that all is vanity and concludes by saying that the whole duty of man is to fear God, keep His commandments, and keep one’s self free from the sinful ways of the world. Now the attention turns towards the subject of love, in the form of a song, and abounding in metaphors, and oriental imagery. Historically, it depicts the wooing and wedding of a shepherdess, by King Solomon, and highlights the heartaches of conjugal love. The song is an allegorical illustration of Israel, the betrothed bride, and the Church as the bride of Christ. As human life finds its highest fulfillment in the love of God for His people and Christ for His Church. The Book is like scenes in a drama, with three main characters; the Shulamite woman, King Solomon and the daughters of Jerusalem

BRAGADAYJAH 1652

BRAGADAYJAH 1652 Ecclesiastes 12: Verses 8-14 Vanity of vanities, sayeth the Preacher; all is vanity. And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and thought out, and set in order many proverbs. The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words; and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished; of making many books, there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of he whole matter; fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring very work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

BRAGADAYJAH 1651

BRAGADAYJAH 1651 Ecclesiastes 12: Verses 1-7 Remember now, thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shall say I have no pleasure in them; while the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain; in the day when keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders feast because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, and the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low. Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the street; or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

BRAGADAYJAH 1650

BRAGADAYJAH 1650 Ecclesiastes 11: Verses 1-10 Cast your bread upon the waters: for thou shall find it after many days. Give a portion to seven and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth, and if a tree fall toward the south, or towards the north, in the place where the tree falleth there it shall be. He that observeth the wind shall not sow, and he that regardeth the rain shall not reap. As thou knoweth not what is in the way of the spirit, or how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child, even so thou knoweth not the works of God who maketh all. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening hold not back thine hand, for thou knoweth not what shall prosper. Neither this or that, nor whether they both shall be alike good. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun, But if a man lives many years and rejoice in them all, yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. Rejoice, O young man in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth. and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes, but know thou that for all these things, God will bring thee into judgement. Therefore, remove sorrow from thine heart, and put away evil from thy flesh, for childhood and youth are vanity.

BRAGADAYJAH 1649

BRAGADAYJAH 1649 Ecclesiastes 10: Verses 11-20 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up itself. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. A fool also is full of words; a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. Woe unto thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the mornings! Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is a son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength and not for drunkenness! By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hand the house droppeth through. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry; but money answereth all things. Curse not the king, no not in thy thoughts; and curse not the rich, in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
