Song of Solomon
King James Version (KJV)


“Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:16 Behold - The church here again speaks, and retorts Christ's words; thou, and thou only art fair indeed. Pleasant - As thou art beautiful in thyself, so thou art amiable and pleasant in thy condescention to me. Bed - This seems to denote the place where the church enjoys sweet fellowship with Christ, by his spirit accompanying his ordinances. Green - Is pleasant, as that colour to the eye.
Behold, thou art faire, my beloued; yea pleasant: also our bedde is greene.
