  • Song of Solomon 1 1-Song of Solomon 1 17
    This is the greatest song Solomon ever wrote.“ I long for your lips to kiss me! Your love makes me happier than wine does.The lotion you have on pleases me. Your name is like perfume that is poured out. No wonder the young women love you!Take me away with you. Let us hurry! King Solomon, bring me into your palace.”“ King Solomon, you fill us with joy. You make us happy. We praise your love more than we praise wine.”“ It is right for them to love you!“ Women of Jerusalem, my skin is dark but lovely. It is dark like the tents in Kedar. It’s like the curtains of Solomon’s tent.Don’t stare at me because I’m dark. The sun has made my skin look like this. My brothers were angry with me. They made me take care of the vineyards. I haven’t even taken care of my own vineyard.“ King Solomon, I love you. So tell me where you take care of your flock. Tell me where you rest your sheep at noon. Why should I have to act like a prostitute near the flocks of your friends?”“ You are the most beautiful woman of all. Don’t you know where to find the king? Follow the tracks the sheep make. Take care of your young goats near the tents of the shepherds.”“ You are my love. You are like a mare among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.Your earrings make your cheeks even more beautiful. Your strings of jewels make your neck even more lovely.We will make gold earrings for you. We’ll decorate them with silver.”“ The king was at his table. My perfume gave off a sweet smell.The one who loves me is like a small bag of myrrh resting between my breasts.He is like henna flowers from the vineyards of En Gedi.”“ You are so beautiful, my love! So beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.”“ You are so handsome, my love! So charming! The green field is our bed.”“ Cedar trees above us are the beams of our house. Fir trees overhead are its rafters.”
  • Proverbs 1:1-31
    These are the proverbs of Solomon. He was the son of David and the king of Israel.Proverbs teach you wisdom and instruct you. They help you understand wise sayings.They provide you with instruction and help you live wisely. They lead to what is right and honest and fair.They give understanding to childish people. They give knowledge and good sense to those who are young.Let wise people listen and add to what they have learned. Let those who understand what is right get guidance.What I’m teaching also helps you understand proverbs and stories. It helps you understand the sayings and riddles of those who are wise.If you really want to gain knowledge, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. But foolish people hate wisdom and instruction.My son, listen to your father’s advice. Don’t turn away from your mother’s teaching.What they teach you will be like a beautiful crown on your head. It will be like a chain to decorate your neck.My son, if sinful men tempt you, don’t give in to them.They might say,“ Come along with us. Let’s hide and wait to kill someone who hasn’t done anything wrong. Let’s catch some harmless person in our trap.Let’s swallow them alive, as the grave does. Let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down into the pit.We’ll get all kinds of valuable things. We’ll fill our houses with what we steal.Cast lots with us for what they own. We’ll share everything we take from them.”My son, don’t go along with them. Don’t even set your feet on their paths.They are always in a hurry to sin. They are quick to spill someone’s blood.How useless it is to spread a net where every bird can see it!Those who hide and wait will spill their own blood. They will be caught in their own trap.That’s what happens to everyone who goes after money in the wrong way. That kind of money takes away the life of those who get it.Out in the open wisdom calls out. She raises her voice in a public place.On top of the city wall she cries out. Here is what she says near the gate of the city.“ How long will you childish people love your childish ways? How long will you rude people enjoy making fun of God and others? How long will you foolish people hate knowledge?Pay attention to my warning! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you. I will make known to you my teachings.But you refuse to listen when I call out to you. No one pays attention when I reach out my hand.You turn away from all my advice. And you do not accept my warning.So I will laugh at you when you are in danger. I will make fun of you when hard times come.I will laugh when hard times hit you like a storm. I will laugh when danger comes your way like a windstorm. I will make fun of you when suffering and trouble come.“ Then you will call to me. But I won’t answer. You will look for me. But you won’t find me.You hated knowledge. You didn’t choose to have respect for the Lord.You wouldn’t accept my advice. You turned your backs on my warnings.So you will eat the fruit of the way you have lived. You will choke on the fruit of what you have planned.
