Song of Solomon 1:9-14

New Living Translation

⁹ You are as exciting, my darling,
    as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.
¹⁰ How lovely are your cheeks;
    your earrings set them afire!
How lovely is your neck,
    enhanced by a string of jewels.
¹¹ We will make for you earrings of gold
    and beads of silver.

¹² The king is lying on his couch,
    enchanted by the fragrance of my perfume.
¹³ My lover is like a sachet of myrrh
    lying between my breasts.
¹⁴ He is like a bouquet of sweet henna blossoms
    from the vineyards of En-gedi.
