Let him kiss[H5401] me with the kisses[H5390] of his mouth[H6310]: for thy love[H1730] is better[H2896] than wine[H3196].
3
Because of the savour[H7381] of thy good[H2896]ointments[H8081] thy name[H8034] is as ointment[H8081] poured forth[H7324], therefore do the virgins[H5959]love[H157] thee.
4Draw[H4900] me, we will run[H7323]after[H310] thee: the king[H4428] hath brought[H935] me into his chambers[H2315]: we will be glad[H1523] and rejoice[H8055] in thee, we will remember[H2142] thy love[H1730] more than wine[H3196]: the upright[H4339]love[H157] thee.

I am black[H7838], but comely[H5000], O ye daughters[H1323] of Jerusalem[H3389], as the tents[H168] of Kedar[H6938], as the curtains[H3407] of Solomon[H8010].
6Look[H7200] not upon me, because I am black[H7840], because the sun[H8121] hath looked[H7805] upon me: my mother's children[H1121] were angry[H2787] with me; they made[H7760] me the keeper[H5201] of the vineyards[H3754]; but mine own vineyard[H3754] have I not kept[H5201].
7Tell[H5046] me, O thou whom my soul[H5315]loveth[H157], where[H349] thou feedest[H7462], where[H349] thou makest thy flock to rest[H7257] at noon[H6672]: for[H4100] why should I be as one that turneth aside[H5844] by the flocks[H5739] of thy companions?[H2270]

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

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

Thy cheeks[H3895] are comely[H4998] with rows[H8447] of jewels, thy neck[H6677] with chains[H2737] of gold.
11
We will make[H6213] thee borders[H8447] of gold[H2091] with studs[H5351] of silver[H3701].

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

A bundle[H6872] of myrrh[H4753] is my wellbeloved[H1730] unto me; he shall lie[H3885] all night betwixt my breasts[H7699].
14
My beloved[H1730] is unto me as a cluster[H811] of camphire[H3724] in the vineyards[H3754] of Engedi[H5872].
15
Behold, thou art fair[H3303], my love[H7474]; behold, thou art fair[H3303]; thou hast doves[H3123]' eyes[H5869].
16
Behold, thou art fair[H3303], my beloved[H1730], yea, pleasant[H5273]: also our bed[H6210] is green[H7488].

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