He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

Οστις εχει την νυμφην ειναι νυμφιος· ο δε φιλος του νυμφιου, ο ισταμενος και ακουων αυτον, χαιρει καθ' υπερβολην δια την φωνην του νυμφιου. Αυτη λοιπον η χαρα η ιδικη μου επληρωθη.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
