7. Tell me, you whom my soul loves,where you graze your flock,where you rest them at noon;For why should I be as one who is veiledbeside the flocks of your companions?
8. If you don’t know, most beautiful amongst women,follow the tracks of the sheep.Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.
9. I have compared you, my love,to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,your neck with strings of jewels.
11. We will make you earrings of gold,with studs of silver.
12. While the king sat at his table,my perfume spread its fragrance.
13. My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh,that lies between my breasts.
14. My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossomsfrom the vineyards of En Gedi.
15. Behold, you are beautiful, my love.Behold, you are beautiful.Your eyes are doves.
16. Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant;and our couch is verdant.
17. The beams of our house are cedars.Our rafters are firs.
