Song of Songs 8:12

My Own Vineyard

A Love Many Waters Cannot Quench · Song of Songs 8

Story guide: The speaker contrasts a vineyard of her own with Solomon's revenue and the keepers' share. Notice the woman beside fruit and separate groups of coins. Following the earlier personal vineyard image, this can express authority over herself and her love; the poem does not narrate a land sale or financial settlement.
