⁹ And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.

⁷ The best linen with needlework from Egypt was your sail, stretched out to be a flag for you; blue and purple from the sea-lands of Elishah gave you shade.

²⁸ And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.

²² She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple.

¹⁶ See, you are fair, my loved one, and a pleasure; our bed is green.

⁷ See, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty men of war are about it, of the army of Israel,

⁸ All of them armed with swords, trained in war; every man has his sword at his side, because of fear in the night.

⁹ King Solomon made himself a bed of the wood of Lebanon.

¹⁰ He made its pillars of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it of ebony.

²² See, I will put her into a bed, and those who make themselves unclean with her, into great trouble, if they go on with her works.
