Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Song of Solomon 3
³ The watchmen who go about the city found me; I said, "Have you seen the one I love?"
⁴ Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her who conceived me.
⁵ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.
⁶ The Shulamite Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?
⁷ Behold, it is Solomon’s couch, With sixty valiant men around it, Of the valiant of Israel.
⁸ They all hold swords, Being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night.
⁹ Of the wood of Lebanon Solomon the King Made himself a palanquin:
¹⁰ He made its pillars of silver, Its support of gold, Its seat of purple, Its interior paved with love By the daughters of Jerusalem.
¹¹ Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart.
Song of Solomon 4
¹ The Beloved Behold, you are fair, my love! Behold, you are fair! You have dove’s eyes behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, Going down from Mount Gilead.
² Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep Which have come up from the washing, Every one of which bears twins, And none is barren among them.
