Message Notes

Song of Solomon 1:2-4a

Song of Solomon 1:9-11, 15

⁹I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh. ¹⁰Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. ¹¹We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. ¹⁵How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.

Song of Solomon 2:15 (NIV)

¹⁵Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.
