Song of Songs 1:3-5
New International Reader's Version

3 The lotion you have on pleases me.
    Your name is like perfume that is poured out.
    No wonder the young women love you!
4 Take me away with you. Let us hurry!
    King Solomon, bring me into your palace.”

The other women say

“King Solomon, you fill us with joy. You make us happy.
    We praise your love more than we praise wine.”

The woman says to the king

“It is right for them to love you!

5 “Women of Jerusalem,
    my skin is dark but lovely.
It is dark like the tents in Kedar.
    It’s like the curtains of Solomon’s tent.
