SONG OF SONGS 1:8-15

⁸If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.

⁹I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.

¹⁰Thy cheeks are comely with plaits of hair, thy neck with strings of jewels

¹¹We will make thee plaits of gold with studs of silver.

¹²While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance.

¹³My beloved is unto me as a bundle of myrrh, that lieth betwixt my breasts.

¹⁴My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna-flowers in the vineyards of En-gedi.

¹⁵Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as doves.
