Song of Songs 3:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ “Who is this man coming up from the desert
    like a column of smoke?
He smells like myrrh and incense
    made from all the spices of the trader.
⁷ Look! There’s Solomon’s movable throne.
    Sixty soldiers accompany it.
    They have been chosen from the best warriors in Israel.
⁸ All of them are wearing swords.
    They have fought many battles.
Each one has his sword at his side.
    Each is prepared for the terrors of the night.
