With coverlets I have spread my couch, with brocaded cloths of Egyptian linen;
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Cilicia, where the king’s merchants purchased them.
She makes her own coverlets; fine linen and purple are her clothing.
So I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I have found you!
W How beautiful you are, my lover— handsome indeed! Verdant indeed is our couch;
The linen-workers shall be disappointed, the combers and weavers shall turn pale;
Fine embroidered linen from Egypt became your sail; Your awnings were made of purple and scarlet from the coasts of Elishah.
So I will cast her on a sickbed and plunge those who commit adultery with her into intense suffering unless they repent of her works.
