¹⁷ I have made my bed sweet with perfumes and spices.

⁸ Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

²³ Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,

⁶ Who is this coming out of the waste places like pillars of smoke, perfumed with sweet spices, with all the spices of the trader?

¹³ The produce of the garden is pomegranates; with all the best fruits, henna and spikenard,

¹⁴ Spikenard and safron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.

⁷ You have put your bed on a high mountain: there you went up to make your offering.

⁸ And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it

⁹ And you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld.
