15 Therefore I have come out to meet you,
To seek your face earnestly, and I have found you.
16 I have spread my couch with (A)coverings,
With colored (B)linens of Egypt.
17 I have sprinkled my bed
With (C)myrrh, aloes, and (D)cinnamon.
18 Come, then, let us drink our fill as lovers until morning;
Let us delight ourselves with the pleasures of love.
19 For [a]my husband is not at home,
He has gone on a journey far away;
20 He took a (E)bag of silver in his hand,
On the day of the full moon he will come home.”
