The Speaker: 1
3:6 Who is this coming up from the desert
like a column of smoke,
like 2 a fragrant billow 3 of myrrh and frankincense, 4
every kind of fragrant powder 5 of the traveling merchants? 6
3:7 Look! It is Solomon’s portable couch! 7
It is surrounded by sixty warriors,
some of Israel’s mightiest warriors.
3:8 All of them are skilled with a sword, 8
well-trained in the art of warfare. 9
Each has his sword at his side,
to guard against the terrors of the night.
