Song of Songs 1:3-6
3Your 1oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your 2name is like 3purified oil; Therefore the 45young women love you.4Draw me after you and let’s run together! The 6king has brought me into his chambers.” The Chorus “We will rejoice in you and be joyful; We will praise your 7love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.”
5“I am black and 8beautiful, You 9daughters of Jerusalem, Like the 10tents of 11Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.6Do not stare at me because I am 12dark, For the sun has tanned me. My 13mother’s sons were angry with me; They made me 14caretaker of the vineyards, But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
