The New King James Version

Song of Solomon 1:2–4

The Banquet

The 1Shulamite

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—

bFor 2your love is better than wine.

3 Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,

Your name is ointment poured forth;

Therefore the virgins love you.

4 cDraw me away!

The Daughters of Jerusalem

dWe will run after 3you.

The Shulamite

The king ehas brought me into his chambers.

The Daughters of Jerusalem

We will be glad and rejoice in 4you.

We will remember 3your love more than wine.

The Shulamite

Rightly do they love 3you.
