Contemporary English Version
Song of Solomon 3:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 Young women of Jerusalem,
promise me by the power
of deer and gazelles,[a]
never to awaken love
before it is ready.
The Groom and the Wedding Party
Their Friends Speak:
6 What do we see approaching
from the desert
like a cloud of smoke?
With it comes the sweet smell
of spices, including myrrh
and frankincense.
7 It is King Solomon
carried on a throne,
surrounded by sixty
of Israel's best soldiers.
Footnotes
- 3.5 deer and gazelles: See the note at 2.7.
