[1] The Song of songs, which is Solomon`s. Beloved [2] Let him kiss me
with the kisses of his mouth; For your love is better than wine. [3]
Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth,
Therefore the virgins love you. [4] Take me away with you. Let us hurry.
The king has brought me into his chambers. Friends We will be glad and
rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They
are right to love you. [5] I am dark, but lovely, You daughters of
Jerusalem, Like Kedar`s tents, Like Solomon`s curtains. [6] Don`t
stare at me because I am dark, Because the sun has scorched me. My
mother`s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards.
I haven`t kept my own vineyard. [7] Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
Where you graze your flock, Where you rest them at noon; For why
should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions?
Lover [8] If you don`t know, most beautiful among women, Follow the
tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds` tents.
[9] I have compared you, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh`s chariots. [10]
Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, Your neck with strings of
jewels. [11] We will make you earrings of gold, With studs of silver.
Beloved [12] While the king sat at his table, My perfume spread its
fragrance. [13] My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, That lies between
my breasts. [14] My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms From
the vineyards of En Gedi. Lover [15] Behold, you are beautiful, my love.
Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves. Beloved [16] Behold,
you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; And our couch is verdant.
Lover [17] The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
Beloved
