S.S. 1:3, “Draw me after you and let us run together! The king has brought me into his chambers.” Jeremiah 12:5, “If you have run with footmen and they have worn you out, Then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace, How will you do in the

Song of Songs 2:10-14 NASB [10] “My beloved responded and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along. [11] ‘For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. [12] ‘The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines, And the voice
