5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “voice” →
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying , Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it .
