Song of Songs

Chapter 1

9Do not be concerned that I am dark, for the sun has changed my color.

10The sons of my mother have fought against me. They have made me the keeper of the vineyards. My own vineyard I have not kept.

13O my love, I have compared you to my company of horsemen against the chariots of Pharaoh.

14Your cheeks are beautiful, like those of a turtledove. Your neck is like a bejeweled collar.

17My beloved is a bundle of myrrh to me. He shall abide between my breasts.

18My beloved is a cluster of Cyprus grapes to me, in the vineyards of Engaddi.
