They adorn it with silver and goldand fasten it with hammer and nails,so that it will not totter.
And you, O devastated one, what will you do,though you dress yourself in scarlet,though you adorn yourself with gold jewelry,though you enlarge your eyes with paint?You adorn yourself in vain; your lovers despise you;they want to take your life.
How delightful is your love,my sister, my bride!Your love is much better than wine,and the fragrance of your perfume than all spices.
