Song of Songs 1:15-2:6
New International Version
He
She
16 How handsome you are, my beloved!(C)
Oh, how charming!
And our bed is verdant.
He
17 The beams of our house are cedars;(D)
our rafters are firs.
She[a]
He
2 Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the young women.
She
3 Like an apple[c] tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved(H) among the young men.
I delight(I) to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.(J)
4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall,(K)
and let his banner(L) over me be love.
5 Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples,(M)
for I am faint with love.(N)
6 His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.(O)

King James Version
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
2 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 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.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
