14 Make haste, H1272 my beloved, H1730 and be thou like H1819 to a roe H6643 or to a young H6082 hart H354 upon the mountains H2022 of spices. H1314
Until the day H3117 break, H6315 and the shadows H6752 flee away, H5127 turn, H5437 my beloved, H1730 and be thou like H1819 a roe H6643 or a young H6082 hart H354 upon the mountains H2022 of Bether. H1336
My beloved H1730 is like H1819 a roe H6643 or a young H6082 hart: H354 behold, he standeth H5975 behind H310 our wall, H3796 he looketh forth H7688 at the windows, H2474 shewing H6692 himself through the lattice. H2762
And G2532 the Spirit G4151 and G2532 the bride G3565 say, G3004 Come. G2064 And G2532 let him that heareth G191 say, G2036 Come. G2064 And G2532 let him that is athirst G1372 come. G2064 And G2532 whosoever will, G2309 let him take G2983 the water G5204 of life G2222 freely. G1432
He which testifieth G3140 these things G5023 saith, G3004 Surely G3483 I come G2064 quickly. G5035 Amen. G281 Even so, G3483 come, G2064 Lord G2962 Jesus. G2424

Commentary on Song of Songs 8 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 8
The affections between Christ and his spouse are as strong and lively here, in this closing chapter of the song, as ever, and rather more so.
Sgs 8:1-4
Here,
Sgs 8:5-7
Here,
Sgs 8:8-12
Christ and his spouse having sufficiently confirmed their love to each other, and agreed it to be on both sides strong as death and inviolable, they are here, in these verses, like a loving husband and his wife, consulting together about their affairs, and considering what they should do. Yoke-fellows, having laid their hearts together, lay their heads together, to contrive about their relations and about their estates; and, accordingly, this happy pair are here advising with one another about a sister, and a vineyard.
Sgs 8:13-14
Christ and his spouse are here parting for a while; she must stay below in the gardens on earth, where she has work to do for him; he must remove to the mountains of spices in heaven, where he has business to attend for her, as an advocate with the Father. Now observe with what mutual endearments they part.
