11     Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon;
        he let farmers tend it and charged each a ransom for its produce—1,000 pieces of silver.
12     My vineyard is my own—mine to lend or mine to lease.
        Solomon, you may have your 1,000;
    Those who tend the fruit, your 200.

13 Him: You who dwell in the gardens,
        whose friends are always attentive to your voice,
    Let me hear it.

11 Solomon had a vineyard(A) in Baal Hamon;
    he let out his vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for its fruit
    a thousand shekels[a](B) of silver.
12 But my own vineyard(C) is mine to give;
    the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
    and two hundred[b] are for those who tend its fruit.

He

13 You who dwell in the gardens
    with friends in attendance,
    let me hear your voice!
