Song of Solomon 1:9-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ My true love, I compare you to a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.
¹⁰ Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
your neck with strings of pearls.

¹¹ We will make gold ornaments with silver beads for you.

¹² While the king is at his table,
my perfume fills the air with its fragrance.
¹³ My beloved is a pouch of myrrh ^[a]
that lies at night between my breasts.
¹⁴ My beloved is a bouquet of henna flowers
in the vineyards of En Gedi.
