52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Song of Solomon 3

1

All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him.

2

I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him.

3

The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. "Have you seen the one my heart loves?"

4

Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me.

5

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.

6

Who is this coming up from the desert like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant?

7

Look! It is Solomon's carriage, escorted by sixty warriors, the noblest of Israel,

8

all of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night.

9

King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon.

10

Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior lovingly inlaid by the daughters of Jerusalem.

11

Come out, you daughters of Zion, and look at King Solomon wearing the crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, the day his heart rejoiced.

Song of Solomon 4

1

How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead.

2

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone.

3

Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate.

4

Your neck is like the tower of David, built with elegance ; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

5

Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies.

6

Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense.

7

All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.

8

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon. Descend from the crest of Amana, from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon, from the lions' dens and the mountain haunts of the leopards.

9

You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.

10

How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!

11

Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like that of Lebanon.

12

You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.

13

Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard,

14

nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices.

15

You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.

16

Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread abroad. Let my lover come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
