Song of Solomon 1:2
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
The song of
songs, which
is
Solomon’s.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love
is
better than wine.
3
Because of the savour of thy good ointments 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 remember thy love more than wine: the upright 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
black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards;
but
mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest
thy flock
to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by 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 company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10
Thy cheeks are comely with rows
of jewels
, thy neck with chains
of gold
.
11
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12
While the king
sitteth
at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13
A bundle of myrrh
is
my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14
My beloved
is
unto me
as
a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15
Behold, thou
art
fair, my love; behold, thou
art
fair; thou
hast
doves’ eyes.
16
Behold, thou
art
fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed
is
green.
17
The beams of our house
are
cedar,
and
our rafters of fir.
