Song of Songs 1:9-14

New International Reader's Version

⁹ “You are my love.
    You are like a mare among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.
¹⁰ Your earrings make your cheeks even more beautiful.
    Your strings of jewels make your neck even more lovely.
¹¹ We will make gold earrings for you.
    We’ll decorate them with silver.”

¹² “The king was at his table.
    My perfume gave off a sweet smell.
¹³ The one who loves me is like a small bag of myrrh
    resting between my breasts.
¹⁴ He is like henna flowers
    from the vineyards of En Gedi.”
