Song of Songs 1 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

Love Is Better than Wine

1 He Speaks:

8My dearest, if you don't know,

just follow the path

of the sheep.

Then feed your young goats

near the shepherds' tents.

9You move as gracefully

as the pony that leads

the chariot of the king.

10Earrings add to your beauty,

and you wear a necklace

of precious stones.

11Let's make you some jewelry

of gold, woven with silver.

She Speaks:

12My king, while you

were on your couch,

my aroma was a magic charm.

13My darling, you are perfume

between my breasts;

14you are flower blossoms

from the gardens of En-Gedi.He Speaks:

15My darling, you are lovely,

so very lovely—

your eyes are those of a dove.

She Speaks:

16My love, you are handsome,

truly handsome—

the fresh green grass

will be our wedding bed

17in the shade of cedar

and cypress trees.
