The Bride Confesses Her Love
(Ephesians 5:22–33, 1 Peter 3:1–7)
1 This [is] Solomon’s Song of Songs.[fn]
The Bride
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.
3 The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens adore you.
The Friends
The Bride
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.
5 I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, [but] my own vineyard I have neglected
7 Tell me, O one I love, where do you pasture your sheep? Where do you rest them at midday? Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your companions?
The Friends
8 If you do not know O fairest of women, follow the tracks of the flock, and graze your young goats near the tents of the shepherds.
The Bridegroom
9 I compare you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
The Friends
11 We will make you ornaments of gold, [studded] with beads of silver.
The Bride
12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
The Bridegroom
15 How beautiful [you are], my darling! Oh, how very beautiful! Your eyes are [like] doves.
The Bride
16 How handsome [you are], my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass [is] our bed.
The Bridegroom
17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters [are fragrant] firs.
1:1 Most translators add subheadings for speaker identifications such as The Bride, The Groom, and The Friends based on the gender and number of the Hebrew words.
