103  How ^esweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

10  More to be desired are they than ^ygold,

even much ^zfine gold;

^asweeter also than honey

and drippings of ^bthe honeycomb.

11  ^afor wisdom is better than jewels,

and ^ball that you may desire cannot compare with her.

13  My son, ^oeat honey, for it is good,

and ^pthe drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.

14  Know that wisdom is such to your soul;

if you find it, there will be ^qa future,

and your hope will not be cut off.

12  I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;

I have ^etreasured the words of his mouth more than my ^fportion of food.

5  My soul will be ^bsatisfied as with fat and rich food,

and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

17  Her ^bways are ways of pleasantness,

and all her paths are peace.

2  Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!

For your ^blove is better than wine;

3  your ^canointing oils are fragrant;

your ^dname is oil poured out;

therefore virgins love you.

4  ^eDraw me after you; ^flet us run.

^gThe king has brought me into his chambers.

We will ^hexult and rejoice in you;

we will extol ^byour love more than wine;

rightly do they love you.

1  I ^gcame to my garden, my ^hsister, my bride,

I gathered my ⁱmyrrh with my spice,

I ate my ^jhoneycomb with my honey,

I ^kdrank my wine with my milk.

Eat, ^lfriends, drink,

and be drunk with love!
