15 Therefore I have come out to meet you,
To seek your presence diligently, and I have found you.
16 I have spread my couch with (A)coverings,
With colored (B)linens of Egypt.
17 I have sprinkled my bed
With (C)myrrh, aloes, and (D)cinnamon.
18 Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning;
Let’s delight ourselves with caresses.
19 For [a]my husband is not at home;
He has gone on a long journey.
20 He has taken a (E)bag of money [b]with him.
At the full moon he will come home.”
