Song of Solomon 3

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but I did not find him.

2 I will rise now and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but I did not find him.

3 The watchmen that go about the city found me, <em>to whom I said</em>, Have ye seen him whom my soul loves?

4 <em>It was</em> but a little that I passed from them that I found him whom my soul loves: I held him and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother’s house and into the chamber of her that brought me into the light.

5 I charge you, O ye virgins of Jerusalem, by the roes and by the hinds of the field, that ye not awake nor stir up love, until he pleases.

6 Who <em>is</em> she that rises out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense and with all <em>the</em> aromatic powders?

7 Behold <em>it</em> is the bed of Solomon; sixty valiant men <em>are</em> about it of the valiant of Israel.

8 They all hold swords, <em>being</em> expert in war; each one <em>has</em> his sword upon his thigh because of the fears of the night.

9 King Solomon made himself a palanquin of the wood of Lebanon.

10 He made its pillars <em>of</em> silver, the bottom of it <em>of</em> gold, the covering of it <em>of</em> purple, its interior being paved <em>with</em> love, for the virgins of Jerusalem.

11 Go forth, O ye virgins of Zion, and behold King Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

New International Version NIV

1 All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him.

2 I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him.

3 The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. “Have you seen the one my heart loves?”

4 Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room of the one who conceived me.

5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.

6 Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant?

7 Look! It is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty warriors, the noblest of Israel,

8 all of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night.

9 King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon.

10 Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior inlaid with love. Daughters of Jerusalem,

11 come out, and look, you daughters of Zion. Look on King Solomon wearing a crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, the day his heart rejoiced.
