  • Song 1:1-9 : 1 The Song of songs, which is Solomon's. Beloved 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For your love is better than wine. 3 Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth, Therefore the virgins love you. 4 Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his chambers. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you. 5 I am dark, but lovely, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like Kedar's tents, Like Solomon's curtains. 6 Don't stare at me because I am dark, Because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven't kept my own vineyard. 7 Tell me, you whom my soul loves, Where you graze your flock, Where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions? Lover 8 If you don't know, most beautiful among women, Follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds' tents. 9 I have compared you, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots. 10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, Your neck with strings of jewels. 11 We will make you earrings of gold, With studs of silver. Beloved 12 While the king sat at his table, My perfume spread its fragrance. 13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, That lies between my breasts. 14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms From the vineyards of En Gedi.

Lover 17 The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs. Beloved
  • Matt 13:35 : 35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world."
  • Prov 1:1-9 : 1 The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel: 2 To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding; 3 To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness, justice, and equity; 4 To give prudence to the simple, Knowledge and discretion to the young man: 5 That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; That the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel: 6 To understand a proverb, and parables, The words and riddles of the wise. 7 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. 8 My son, listen to your father's instruction, And don't forsake your mother's teaching: 9 For they will be a garland to grace your head, And chains around your neck. 10 My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent. 11 If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; Let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; 12 Let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down into the pit. 13 We'll find all valuable wealth. We'll fill our houses with spoil. 14 You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse." 15 My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path, 16 For their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood. 17 For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird: 18 But these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives. 19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners. 20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares. 21 She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words: 22 "How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, And fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you. 24 Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; 25 But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof; 26 I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you; 27 When calamity overtakes you like a storm, When your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come on you. 28 Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; 29 Because they hated knowledge, And didn't choose the fear of Yahweh. 30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own schemes.
