Song Of Songs 3:5-8 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. Young women of Jerusalem,promise me by the powerof deer and gazelles,never to awaken lovebefore it is ready.

6. What do we see approachingfrom the desertlike a cloud of smoke?With it comes the sweet smellof spices, including myrrhand frankincense.

7. It is King Solomoncarried on a throne,surrounded by sixtyof Israel's best soldiers.

8. Each of them wears a sword.They are experts at fighting,even in the dark.
