Song of Songs 1:9-17

9My dear friend, you are very beautiful. You seem to me like a beautiful horse that pulls one of Pharaoh's chariots.

10Your face is beautiful with jewels. A necklace makes your neck beautiful too.

11We will use gold to make ear rings for you, and we will add pieces of silver.

12While the king was eating a meal, the sweet smell of my perfume was in the air.

13My lover is like a bag of myrrh that lies between my breasts.

14He is like a group of henna flowers that grow in the vineyards at En Gedi.

15My dear friend, I see that you are very beautiful! Yes, you are beautiful and your eyes are like doves.

16My lover, I see that you are very handsome! Yes, you are lovely! This field of fresh, green grass is our comfortable bed.

17The cedar trees above us are the beams of our bedroom. The pine trees cover us like a roof.
