Song of Solomon 3:6

Solomon Arrives for the Wedding

6 ^aWhat is that coming up from the wilderness
like ^bcolumns of smoke,
perfumed with ^cmyrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of a merchant?

Song of Solomon 4:13-14

13 Your shoots are ^dan orchard of pomegranates
with all ^echoicest fruits,
^fhenna with ^gnard,
14 nard and saffron, ^hcalamus and ⁱcinnamon,
with all trees of ^jfrankincense,
^kmyrrh and ^laloes,
with all ^mchoice spices—

Song of Solomon 5:13

13 His ⁿcheeks are like ^obeds of spices,
mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.
His lips are ^plilies,
dripping ^qliquid myrrh.

2 Corinthians 7:7

7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

2 Corinthians 7:9-11

9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but ^rbecause you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

10 For ^sgodly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas ^tworldly grief produces death. 11 For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, ^uwhat zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter.
