Song of Solomon 1:3-5
Contemporary English Version
3 and you smell so sweet.
All the young women adore you;
the very mention of your name
is like spreading perfume.
* 4 Hurry, my king! Let's hurry.
Take me to your home.
The Young Women Speak:
We are happy for you!
And we praise your love
even more than wine.
She Speaks:
Young women of Jerusalem,
it is only right
that you should adore him.
5 My skin is dark and beautiful,
like a tent in the desert
or like Solomon's curtains.
Song of Songs 1:3-5

3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;(A)
your name(B) is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the young women(C) love you!
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.(D)
Friends
She
How right they are to adore you!
