Song of Solomon 1:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ better than the fragrance of cologne.
(Cologne should be named after you.)
No wonder the young women love you!
⁴ Take me with you. Let’s run away.
The king has brought me into his private rooms.

We will celebrate and rejoice with you.
We will praise your expressions of love more than wine.
How right it is that the young women love you!

⁵ Young women of Jerusalem, I am dark and lovely
like Kedar’s tents,
like Solomon’s curtains.
