2 H5401 Let him kiss [H8799] H5390 me with the kisses H6310 of his mouth H1730 : for thy love H2896 is better H3196 than wine.

3 H7381 Because of the savour H2896 of thy good H8081 ointments H8034 thy name H8081 is as ointment H7324 poured forth [H8714] H5959 , therefore do the virgins H157 love [H8804] thee.

4 H4900 Draw [H8798] H7323 me, we will run [H8799] H310 after H4428 thee: the king H935 hath brought [H8689] H2315 me into his chambers H1523 : we will be glad [H8799] H8055 and rejoice [H8799] H2142 in thee, we will remember [H8686] H1730 thy love H3196 more than wine H4339 : the upright H157 love [H8804] thee.

5 H7838 I am black H5000 , but comely H1323 , O ye daughters H3389 of Jerusalem H168 , as the tents H6938 of Kedar H3407 , as the curtains H8010 of Solomon.

6 H7200 Look [H8799] H7840 not upon me, because I am black H8121 , because the sun H7805 hath looked [H8804] H517 upon me: my mother's H1121 children H2787 were angry [H8738] H7760 with me; they made [H8804] H5201 me the keeper [H8802] H3754 of the vineyards H3754 ; but mine own vineyard H5201 have I not kept [H8804] .

7 H5046 Tell [H8685] H5315 me, O thou whom my soul H157 loveth [H8804] H7462 , where thou feedest [H8799] H349 , where H7257 thou makest thy flock to rest [H8686] H6672 at noon H4100 : for H5844 why should I be as one that turneth aside [H8802] H5739 by the flocks H2270 of thy companions?

8 H3045 If thou know [H8799] H3303 not, O thou fairest H802 among women H3318 , go thy way forth [H8798] H6119 by the footsteps H6629 of the flock H7462 , and feed [H8798] H1429 thy kids H7462 beside the shepherds [H8802] H4908 ' tents.

9 H1819 I have compared [H8765] H7474 thee, O my love H5484 , to a company of horses H6547 in Pharaoh's H7393 chariots.

10 H3895 Thy cheeks H4998 are comely [H8773] H8447 with rows H6677 of jewels, thy neck H2737 with chains of gold .

11 H6213 We will make [H8799] H8447 thee borders H2091 of gold H5351 with studs H3701 of silver.

12 H4428 While the king H4524 sitteth at his table H5373 , my spikenard H5414 sendeth forth [H8804] H7381 the smell thereof.

13 H6872 A bundle H4753 of myrrh H1730 is my wellbeloved H3885 unto me; he shall lie [H8799] H7699 all night betwixt my breasts.

14 H1730 My beloved H811 is unto me as a cluster H3724 of camphire H3754 in the vineyards H5872 of Engedi.

15 H3303 Behold, thou art fair H7474 , my love H3303 ; behold, thou art fair H3123 ; thou hast doves H5869 ' eyes.

16 H3303 Behold, thou art fair H1730 , my beloved H5273 , yea, pleasant H6210 : also our bed H7488 is green.

17 H6982 The beams H1004 of our house H730 are cedar H7351 , and our rafters [H8675] H7351 H1266 of fir.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s. ² Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. ³ Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy name is [as] ointment poured forth; therefore do the virgins love thee. 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. ⁵ I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 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. 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? ⁸ If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents. ⁹ I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots. ¹⁰ Thy cheeks are comely with plaits [of hair], thy neck with strings of jewels ¹¹ We will make thee plaits of gold with studs of silver. ¹² While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance. ¹³ My beloved is unto me [as] a bundle of myrrh, that lieth betwixt my breasts. ¹⁴ My beloved is unto me [as] a cluster of henna-flowers in the vineyards of En-gedi. ¹⁵ Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are [as] doves. ¹⁶ Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our couch is green. ¹⁷ The beams of our house are cedars, [and] our rafters are firs.
