² Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your ^(b)love is better than wine;
³     your ^(c)anointing oils are fragrant;
your ^(d)name is oil poured out;
    therefore virgins love you.
^4 (e)Draw me after you; ^(f)let us run.
    ^(g)The king has brought me into his chambers.

We will ^(h)exult and rejoice in you;
    we will extol ⁽ⁱ⁾your love more than wine;
    rightly do they love you.

⁵ I am very dark, but ^(j)lovely,
    O ^(k)daughters of Jerusalem,
like ^(l)the tents of ^(m)Kedar,
    like the curtains of Solomon.
⁶ Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
    because the sun has looked upon me.
My ⁽ⁿ⁾mother's sons were angry with me;
    they made me ^(o)keeper of ^(p)the vineyards,
    but ^(q)my own vineyard I have not kept!
⁷ Tell me, you ^(r)whom my soul loves,
    where you ^(s)pasture your flock,
    where you make it ^(t)lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
    beside the flocks of your ^(u)companions?

⁸ If you do not know,
    O ^(v)most beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
    and pasture your young goats
    beside the shepherds' tents.

⁹ I compare you, ^(w)my love,
    to ^(x)a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.
^10 (y)Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
    your neck with strings of jewels.

¹¹ We will make for you^[b] ornaments of gold,
    studded with silver.

¹² While ^(z)the king was on his couch,
    my ^(aa)nard gave forth its fragrance.
¹³ My beloved is to me a sachet of ^(ab)myrrh
    that lies between my breasts.
¹⁴ My beloved is to me a cluster of ^(ac)henna blossoms
    in the vineyards of ^(ad)Engedi.

^15 (ae)Behold, ^(af)you are beautiful, ^(ag)my love;
    behold, you are beautiful;
    your ^(ah)eyes are doves.

¹⁶ Behold, you are beautiful, ^(ai)my beloved, truly ^(aj)delightful.
Our couch is green;
¹⁷     the beams of our house are ^(ak)cedar;
    our rafters are ^(al)pine.
