Song of Solomon 1:7-17

The Message Bible MSG

7 Tell me where you're working - I love you so much - Tell me where you're tending your flocks, where you let them rest at noontime. Why should I be the one left out, outside the orbit of your tender care?

8 If you can't find me, loveliest of all women, it's all right. Stay with your flocks. Lead your lambs to good pasture. Stay with your shepherd neighbors.

9 You remind me of Pharaoh's well-groomed and satiny mares.

10 Pendant earrings line the elegance of your cheeks; strands of jewels illumine the curve of your throat.

11 I'm making jewelry for you, gold and silver jewelry that will mark and accent your beauty.

12 When my King-Lover lay down beside me, my fragrance filled the room.

13 His head resting between my breasts - the head of my lover was a sachet of sweet myrrh.

14 My beloved is a bouquet of wildflowers picked just for me from the fields of Engedi.

15 Oh, my dear friend! You're so beautiful! And your eyes so beautiful - like doves!

16 And you, my dear lover - you're so handsome! And the bed we share is like a forest glen.

17 We enjoy a canopy of cedars enclosed by cypresses, fragrant and green.

New International Version NIV

7 Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?

8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds.

9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.

10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.

11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.

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 from the vineyards of En Gedi.

15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.

16 How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant.

17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.
