8 ¹¹ Solomon had a vineyard at Ba'al-ha'mon;
he let out the vineyard to keepers;
each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.
8 ¹² My vineyard, my very own, is for myself;
you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,
and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.

8 ¹³ O you who dwell in the gardens,
my companions are listening for your voice;
let me hear it.
