Song of Songs 1:1-4
11The 2Song of 3Songs, which is Solomon’s.
2“May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your 4love is 5sweeter than wine.3Your 6oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your 7name is like 8purified oil; Therefore the 910young women love you.4Draw me after you and let’s run together! The 11king has brought me into his chambers.” The Chorus “We will rejoice in you and be joyful; We will praise your 12love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.”
