Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:1 - The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:2 -
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;
For thy love is better than wine.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:3 -
Thine oils have a goodly fragrance;
Thy name is as oil poured forth;
Therefore do the virgins love thee.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:4 -
Draw me; we will run after thee:
The king hath brought me into his chambers;
We will be glad and rejoice in thee;
We will make mention of thy love more than of wine:
Rightly do they love thee.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:5 -
I am black, but comely,
Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem,
As the tents of Kedar,
As the curtains of Solomon.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:6 -
Look not upon me, because I am swarthy,
Because the sun hath scorched me.
My mother’s sons were incensed against me;
They made me keeper of the vineyards;
But mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:7 -
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth,
Where thou feedest thy flock,
Where thou makest it to rest at noon:
For why should I be as one that is veiled
Beside the flocks of thy companions?

Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock,
And feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.

I have compared thee, O my love,
To a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.

Thy neck with strings of jewels.

We will make thee plaits of gold
With studs of silver.

While the king sat at his table,
My spikenard sent forth its fragrance.

My beloved is unto me as a bundle of myrrh,
That lieth betwixt my breasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:14 -
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna-flowers
In the vineyards of En-gedi.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:15 -
Behold, thou art fair, my love;
Behold thou art fair;
Thine eyes are as doves.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:16 -
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:
Also our couch is green.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:17 -
The beams of our house are cedars,
And our rafters are firs.
