Song of Solomon 3:5-7
New Century Version
The Woman Speaks to the Friends
5 Women of Jerusalem, promise me
by the gazelles and the deer
not to awaken
or excite my feelings of love
until it is ready.
6 Who is this coming out of the desert
like a cloud of smoke?
Who is this that smells like myrrh, incense,
and other spices?
7 Look, it’s Solomon’s couch[a]
with sixty soldiers around it,
the finest soldiers of Israel.
Footnotes
- 3:7 couch Something like a bed carried by slaves on which the king lay or sat while traveling.
