Anyone read Chinese?

I just got a cool embroidered horsey pillow with Chinese characters. I'd love to know what it says!

My boss is Chinese- I can try to do a screenshot and take it to work tomorrow for translation. Most websites are blocked at work, so I have to try to be computer savvy- which I'm not! :lol:

My daughter-in-law is Chinese. I sent it to her and will let you know what she says.

According to my Chinese colleague....

The sentence is from Bible, Song of Songs, chapter 1:9 - I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.

The title of the picture is “The Picture of Horses”, if I direct translate it.

Very nice!
I admit that I read the title as 'Anyone red Chinese?' and was a bit startled!

This translation from my daughter-in-law shows the beauty of the Song of Solomon:

"This sentence is from the Chinese edition of Bible, the original sentence is this one "I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh" from Song of Solomon 1:9. Hope this helps".
