Book 22 Song of Solomon 22:001:001 The song of songs, which is Solomon’s. 22:001:002 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. 22:001:003 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. 22:001:004 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. 22:001:005 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 22:001:006 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. 22:001:007 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? 22:001:008 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents. 22:001:009 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots. 22:001:010 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. 22:001:011 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. 22:001:012 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. 22:001:013 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. 22:001:014 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. 22:001:015 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes. 22:001:016 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. 22:001:017 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. 22:002:001 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. 22:002:002 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 22:002:003 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 22:002:004 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 22:002:005 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. 22:002:006 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. 22:002:007 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
