1:1 The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For your love is better than wine. 1:3 Your oils have a goodly fragrance; Your name is oil poured forth; Therefore the young women love you. 1:4 Draw me; we will run after you: The king has brought me into his chambers; We will be glad and rejoice in you; We will make mention of your love more than of wine: Rightly they love you. 1:5 I am black, but comely, O you+ daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon. 1:6 Don't look on me, because I am swarthy, Because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were incensed against me; They made me keeper of the vineyards; [But] my own vineyard I have not kept. 1:7 Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, Where you shepherd [your flock], Where you make [it] to rest at noon: For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your fellow shepherds? 1:8 If you don't know, O you most beautiful among women, Go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And shepherd your young goats beside the shepherds' tents. 1:9 I have compared you, O my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots. 1:10 Your cheeks are comely with plaits [of hair], Your neck with strings of jewels. 1:11 We will make you plaits of gold With studs of silver. 1:12 While the king sat at his table, My spikenard sent forth its fragrance. 1:13 My beloved is to me [as] a bundle of myrrh, That lies between my breasts. 1:14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna-flowers In the vineyards of En-gedi. 1:15 Look, you are beautiful, my love; Look you are beautiful; Your eyes are doves. 1:16 Look, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant: Also our couch is green. 1:17 The beams of our house are cedars, [And] our rafters are firs. |
