1 Бра́тъ мо́й сни́де въ вертогра́дъ сво́й, въ мѣста̀ а҆рѡма̑тъ, па́ствити въ вертогра́дѣхъ и҆ собира́ти крі́ны. 2 А҆́зъ бра́тꙋ моемꙋ̀ и҆ бра́тъ мо́й мнѣ̀, пасы́й въ крі́нѣхъ. 3 Добра̀ є҆сѝ, бли́жнѧѧ моѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ благоволе́нїе, красна̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, ᲂу҆́жасъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вчинє́нны. 4 Ѿвратѝ ѻ҆́чи твоѝ ѿ менє̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ті́и воскрили́ша мѧ̀: вла́си твоѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ стада̀ ко́зъ, ꙗ҆̀же взыдо́ша ѿ галаа́да: 5 зꙋ́бы твоѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ стада̀ ѡ҆стриже́ныхъ, ꙗ҆̀же взыдо́ша ѿ кꙋпѣ́ли, всѧ̑ близнѧ́та родѧ́щыѧ, и҆ безча́дныѧ нѣ́сть въ ни́хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ве́рвь червле́на ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ твоѝ, и҆ бесѣ́да твоѧ̀ красна̀: 6 ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆броще́нїе ши́пка лани̑ты твоѧ̑, кромѣ̀ замолча́нїѧ твоегѡ̀. 7 Шестьдесѧ́тъ сꙋ́ть цари́цъ и҆ ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ нало́жницъ, и҆ ю҆́нотъ, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть числа̀: 8 є҆ди́на є҆́сть голꙋби́ца моѧ̀, соверше́ннаѧ моѧ̀: є҆ди́на є҆́сть ма́тери свое́й, и҆збра́нна є҆́сть роди́вшей ю҆̀: ви́дѣша ю҆̀ дщє́ри и҆ ᲂу҆блажи́ша ю҆̀, цари̑цы и҆ налѡ́жницы, и҆ восхвали́ша ю҆̀. 9 Кто̀ сїѧ̀ проница́ющаѧ а҆́ки ᲂу҆́тро, добра̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋна̀, и҆збра́нна ꙗ҆́кѡ со́лнце, ᲂу҆́жасъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вчинє́нны; 10 Въ вертогра́дъ ѻ҆рѣ́хѡвъ снидо́хъ ви́дѣти въ плодѣ́хъ пото́ка, ви́дѣти, а҆́ще процвѣтѐ вїногра́дъ и҆ возрасто́ша ши́пки. 11 Та́мѡ да́мъ сосца̑ моѧ̑ тебѣ̀: не разꙋмѣ̀ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀, положи́ мѧ на колесни́цѣ а҆мїнада́вли. 12 Ѡ҆брати́сѧ, ѡ҆брати́сѧ, сꙋламі́тїно, ѡ҆брати́сѧ, ѡ҆брати́сѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зримъ въ тебѣ̀.

Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
I am come who feed My sheep among the lilies, I am come to feed them in the gardens.
