Chapter 3
1On my bed at night I sought the one whom my soul loves; I sought him, but I did not find him.
2Rise now and go around the city, through its streets and its squares; I will seek the one whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him.
3The watchmen who patrol the city found me. I asked whether they had seen the one whom my soul loves.
4Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one whom my soul loves. I seized him and would not release him until I brought him into my mother's house and into the chamber of the one who conceived me.
5I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field: do not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.
6Who is this that comes up from the wilderness like columns of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense and with all the powders of a merchant.
7Behold the couch of Solomon. Sixty mighty men surround it, the mighty men of Israel.
8Each of them grasps a sword and is trained for war; each man has his sword upon his thigh because of the fear of the night.
9King Solomon made a palanquin for himself from the trees of Lebanon.
10He made its pillars of silver, its back of gold, its seat of purple; its interior was inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
11Go out and look, O daughters of Zion, upon King Solomon wearing the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, on the day of the gladness of his heart.
