Translation
24 The verdure is green,
25 The vegetation is green.
26–27 In the shade of the green irrigated orchard,
27–28 a speckled she-goat keeps pasturing.
29–30 I threw at her a weapon - did not catch her.
30–31 I threw at her a shepherd staff - did not get hold of her.
31–32 I threw at her beer bread, thyme, and salt -
32–33 I verily did turn her over from her root.
