Song of Solomon 7:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Let us get up early: the church having offended and lost her Beloved by her former laziness, now doubles her diligence, and discovers how earnestly she was set upon the following work. To the vineyards; to particular congregations. See Song of Solomon 6:11 Isaiah 5:1. Let us see if the vines flourish &c.; let us inquire into the success of our labours, what souls are brought in and built up, how they prosper and grow in grace, whether they abound in good works, &c. There will I give thee my loves; there I will discover the sincerity and fervency of my affections to thee, and maintain communion with thee in thy holy ordinances.

Song of Solomon 7:12

12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear,d and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
