He5:1 I came to my garden, my sister, my bride,I gathered my myrrh with my spice,I ate my honeycomb with my honey,I drank my wine with my milk.OthersEat, friends, drink,and be drunk with love! The Bride Searches for Her BelovedShe2 I slept, but my heart was awake.A sound! My beloved is knocking.“Open to me, my sister, my love,my dove, my perfect one,for my head is wet with dew,my locks with the drops of the night.” 3 I had put off my garment;how could I put it on?I had bathed my feet;how could I soil them? 4 My beloved put his hand to the latch,and my heart was thrilled within me. 5 I arose to open to my beloved,and my hands dripped with myrrh,my fingers with liquid myrrh,on the handles of the bolt. 6 I opened to my beloved,but my beloved had turned and gone.My soul failed me when he spoke.I sought him, but found him not;I called him, but he gave no answer. 7 The watchmen found meas they went about in the city;they beat me, they bruised me,they took away my veil,those watchmen of the walls. 8 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,if you find my beloved,that you tell himI am sick with love. Others9 What is your beloved more than another beloved,O most beautiful among women?What is your beloved more than another beloved,that you thus adjure us? The Bride Praises Her BelovedShe10 My beloved is radiant and ruddy,distinguished among ten thousand. 11 His head is the finest gold;his locks are wavy,black as a raven. 12 His eyes are like dovesbeside streams of water,bathed in milk,sitting beside a full pool. 13 His cheeks are like beds of spices,mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.His lips are lilies,dripping liquid myrrh. 14 His arms are rods of gold,set with jewels.His body is polished ivory,bedecked with sapphires. 15 His legs are alabaster columns,set on bases of gold.His appearance is like Lebanon,choice as the cedars. 16 His mouth is most sweet,and he is altogether desirable.This is my beloved and this is my friend,O daughters of Jerusalem.SONG OF SOLOMON 6

Others6:1 Where has your beloved gone,O most beautiful among women?Where has your beloved turned,that we may seek him with you? Together in the Garden of LoveShe2 My beloved has gone down to his gardento the beds of spices,to graze in the gardensand to gather lilies. 3 I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;he grazes among the lilies. Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each OtherHe4 You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love,lovely as Jerusalem,awesome as an army with banners. 5 Turn away your eyes from me,for they overwhelm me—Your hair is like a flock of goatsleaping down the slopes of Gilead. 6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewesthat have come up from the washing;all of them bear twins;not one among them has lost its young. 7 Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranatebehind your veil. 8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,and virgins without number. 9 My dove, my perfect one, is the only one,the only one of her mother,pure to her who bore her.The young women saw her and called her blessed;the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.PROVERBS 4

A Father’s Wise Instruction4:1 Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction,and be attentive, that you may gain insight, 2 for I give you good precepts;do not forsake my teaching. 3 When I was a son with my father,tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, 4 he taught me and said to me,“Let your heart hold fast my words;keep my commandments, and live. 5 Get wisdom; get insight;do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;love her, and she will guard you. 7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,and whatever you get, get insight. 8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;she will honor you if you embrace her. 9 She will place on your head a graceful garland;she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”2 TIMOTHY 2

A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus 2:1 You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version® copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
