3 In my bed at nightJ
I sought the one I love;u
I sought him, but did not find him.K,v
2 I will arise now and go about the city,
through the streets and the plazas.w
I will seek the one I love.
I sought him, but did not find him.
3 The guards who go about the city found me.x
I asked them, “Have you seen the one I love?”
when I found the one I love.
I held on to him and would not let him go
until I brought him to my mother’s housey—
to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
5 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and the wild does of the field,
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.D,z
6 Who is thisaa coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincenseab
from every fragrant powder of the merchant?
surrounded by sixty warriors
from the mighty men of Israel.
8 All of them are skilled with swords
and trained in warfare.
Each has his sword at his sideac
to guard against the terror of the night.ad
9 King Solomon made a carriage for himself
with wood from Lebanon.
10 He made its posts of silver,
its backA of gold,
and its seat of purple.
Its interior is inlaid with loveB
by the young women of Jerusalem.a
11 Go out, young women of Zion,b
and gaze at King Solomon,
wearing the crown his mother placed on him
on the day of his weddingc—
the day of his heart’s rejoicing.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
