Song of Songs 1:3-6
3Your 1oilsH8081 have a pleasingH2896 fragranceH7381, Your 2nameH8034 is like 3purifiedH7385 oilH8081; ThereforeH5921H3651 the 45youngH5959 womenH5959 loveH157 you.4DrawH4900 me afterH310 you and let’s runH7323 together! The 6kingH4428 has broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315.” The Chorus “We will rejoiceH1523 in you and beH8055 joyfulH8055; We will praiseH2142 your 7loveH1730 moreH4480 thanH4480 wineH3196. RightlyH4339 do they loveH157 you.”
5“I am blackH7838 and 8beautifulH5000, You 9daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, Like the 10tentsH168 of 11KedarH6938, Like the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.6Do not stareH7200 at me because I am 12darkH7840, For the sunH8121 has tannedH7805 me. My 13mother’sH517 sonsH1121 wereH2734 angryH2734 with me; They madeH7760 me 14caretakerH5201 of the vineyardsH3754, But I have not takenH5201 careH5201 of my own vineyardH3754.
