Bible in Basic English

8

Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

9

Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.

10

O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

11

So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.

12

And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.

13

In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.

14

She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.

15

With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.

16

Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.

17

I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.

“All your garments are perfumed with myrrh, aloes, and cassia. From the luxurious palaces comes the music of stringed instruments that makes you happy. Princesses are among your honored women, your bride stands at your right hand, wearing jewelry made with gold from Ophir. Listen, O princess! Observe and pay attention! Forget your homeland and your family! Then the king will be attracted by your beauty. After all, he is your master! Submit to him! Rich people from Tyre will seek your favor by bringing a gift. The princess looks absolutely magnificent, decked out in pearls and clothed in a brocade trimmed with gold. In embroidered robes she is escorted to the king. Her attendants, the maidens of honor who follow her, are led before you. They are bubbling with joy as they walk in procession and enter the royal palace. Your sons will carry on the dynasty of your ancestors; you will make them princes throughout the land. I will proclaim your greatness through the coming years, then the nations will praise you forever.”
