9I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh.


In Context

9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh.

10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.

11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.
