Song of Songs 1:1-4
Modern English Version
Introduction
1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.
The Woman
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is better than wine.
3 Your anointing oils are fragrant,
your name is oil poured out;
therefore the virgins love you.
4 Draw me after you, let us run.
The king has brought me into his chambers.
Friends of the Woman
We will exult and rejoice in you;
we will remember your love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;
For thy love is better than wine.
3 Thine oils have a goodly fragrance;

Therefore do the [a]virgins love thee.
4 Draw me; we will run after thee:
The king hath brought me into his chambers;

We will make mention of thy love more than of wine:
[b]Rightly do they love thee.
