Song of Songs 8:1

מִ֣י יִתֶּנְךָ֗ כְּאָ֨ח לִ֛י יוֹנֵ֖ק שְׁדֵ֣י אִמִּ֑י אֶמְצָאֲךָ֤ בַחוּץ֙ אֶשָּׁקְךָ֔ גַּ֥ם לֹא־יָב֖וּזוּ לִֽי׃
King James Version (KJV)

O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.

Modern English

Oh that you were like my brother, who nursed from my mother's breasts! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and none would despise me.

Hebrew

מִ֣י יִתֶּנְךָ֗ כְּאָ֨ח לִ֛י יוֹנֵ֖ק שְׁדֵ֣י אִמִּ֑י אֶמְצָאֲךָ֤ בַחוּץ֙ אֶשָּׁקְךָ֔ גַּ֥ם לֹא־יָב֖וּזוּ לִֽי׃
