n@shiyqah > of his mouth <6310 peh > : for thy love <1730 dowd >

[ is ] better <2896 towb > than wine <3196 yayin > .

: 3 Because of the savour <7381 reyach > of thy good <2896 towb

> ointments <8081 shemen > thy name <8034 shem > [ is as ]

ointment <8081 shemen > poured <7324 ruwq > forth , therefore

<7840 sh@charchoreth > , because the sun <8121 shemesh > hath

looked <7805 shazaph > upon me : my mother s <0517 >em >

children <1121 ben > were angry <2734 charah > with me ; they

made <7760 suwm > me the keeper <5201 natar > of the vineyards

<3754 kerem > ; [ but ] mine own vineyard <3754 kerem > have
