Song of Songs 1:3-6
3Your 1oilsH8081 have a pleasingH2896 fragranceH7381, Your 2nameH8034 is like 3purifiedH7385 oilH8081; ThereforeH5921H3651 the 45maidensH5959 loveH157 you.4DrawH4900 me afterH310 you and let us runH7323 together! The 6kingH4428 has broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315.” “7We will rejoiceH1523 in you and be gladH8055; We will 8extolH2142 your 9loveH1730 moreH4480 thanH4480 wineH3196. RightlyH4339 do they loveH157 you.”
5“10I am blackH7838 but 11lovelyH5000, O 12daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, Like the 13tentsH168 of 14KedarH6938, Like the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.6Do not stareH7200 at me because I am 15swarthyH7840, For the sunH8121 has burnedH7805 me. My 16mother’sH517 sonsH1121 were angryH2734 with me; They madeH7760 me 17caretakerH5201 of the vineyardsH3754, But I have not takenH5201 careH5201 of my own vineyardH3754.
