Song of Songs 1:2-6
2“1May he kissH5401 me with the kissesH5390 of his mouthH6310! For your 2loveH1730 is betterH2896 thanH4480 wineH3196.3Your 3oilsH8081 have a pleasingH2896 fragranceH7381, Your 4nameH8034 is like 5purifiedH7385 oilH8081; ThereforeH5921H3651 the 67maidensH5959 loveH157 you.4DrawH4900 me afterH310 you and let us runH7323 together! The 8kingH4428 has broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315.” “9We will rejoiceH1523 in you and be gladH8055; We will 10extolH2142 your 11loveH1730 moreH4480 thanH4480 wineH3196. RightlyH4339 do they loveH157 you.”
5“12I am blackH7838 but 13lovelyH5000, O 14daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, Like the 15tentsH168 of 16KedarH6938, Like the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.6Do not stareH7200 at me because I am 17swarthyH7840, For the sunH8121 has burnedH7805 me. My 18mother’sH517 sonsH1121 were angryH2734 with me; They madeH7760 me 19caretakerH5201 of the vineyardsH3754, But I have not takenH5201 careH5201 of my own vineyardH3754.
