Song of Solomon 1:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible
An [a]Excellent Song Which Was Solomon’s
1 1 The familiar talk and mystical communication of the spiritual love between Jesus Christ and his Church. 5 The domestical enemies that persecute the Church.
1 Let [b]him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
2 Because of the [c]savor of thy good ointments, thy name is as an ointment poured out: therefore the [d]virgins love thee.
