Song of Songs 8:12

New Catholic Bible

¹²My vineyard^[a] is under my control.
You, O Solomon, may have the thousand silver pieces,
and those who tend the fruit may have two hundred.

Song of Songs 8:12 My vineyard: i.e., the bride herself as in Song 1:6. It is contrasted with the vineyard of Solomon in 8:11. In what may be a satirical note, she offers Solomon the owners’ portion for her vineyard and two hundred pieces of silver to the tenants.

Song of Songs 8:12

New International Version

¹²But my own vineyard^(A) is mine to give;
the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
and two hundred^[a] are for those who tend its fruit.
