“Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:13 Thou - Christ speaks here to his spouse. The gardens - Not in the wilderness of the world, but in the church, the garden of God. He saith, gardens, because of the many particular congregations, into which the church is divided. Companions - The friends of the bride and bridegroom. Hearken - Diligently observe all thy words towards me. Cause me - When I am gone from thee, let me hear thy prayers, and praises, and the preaching of my gospel in the world.
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to heare it.
