<P> The Song of Songs is unique within the Hebrew bible : it shows no interest in Law or Covenant or Yahweh the God of Israel , nor does it teach or explore Wisdom like Proverbs or Ecclesiastes ( although it does have some affinities to Wisdom literature , as the ascription to Solomon indicates ) ; instead , it celebrates sexual love , giving `` the voices of two lovers , praising each other , yearning for each other , proffering invitations to enjoy '' . The two are in harmony , each desiring the other and rejoicing in sexual intimacy ; the women of Jerusalem form a chorus to the lovers , functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers ' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader . </P>
