“To a (A)mare of mine among the chariots of Pharaoh
I compare you, O (B)my darling.
10 Your (C)cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
Your neck with strings of [a](D)beads.”

11 [b]We will make for you ornaments of gold
With beads of silver.”

12 [c]While the king was at his [d]banqueting table,
My [e](E)perfume gave forth its fragrance.
13 My beloved is to me a pouch of (F)myrrh
Which lies all night between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of (G)henna blossoms
In the vineyards of (H)Engedi.”

I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.

10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
