Song of Solomon 4
-
1Behold, you are beautiful, my love.
- Behold, you are beautiful.
- Your eyes are doves behind your veil.
- Your hair is as a flock of goats,
- that descend from Mount Gilead.
-
2Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock,
- which have come up from the washing,
- where every one of them has twins.
- None is bereaved among them.
-
3Your lips are like scarlet thread.
- Your mouth is lovely.
- Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
-
4Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory,
- whereon a thousand shields hang,
- all the shields of the mighty men.
-
5Your two breasts are like two fawns
- that are twins of a roe,
- which feed among the lilies.
-
6Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
- I will go to the mountain of myrrh,
- to the hill of frankincense.
-
7You are all beautiful, my love.
- There is no spot in you.
-
8Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
- with me from Lebanon.
- Look from the top of Amana,
- from the top of Senir and Hermon,
- from the lions’ dens,
- from the mountains of the leopards.
-
9You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride.
- You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes,
- with one chain of your neck.
-
10How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
- How much better is your love than wine!
- The fragrance of your perfumes than all kinds of spices!
-
11Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb.
- Honey and milk are under your tongue.
- The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
-
12A locked up garden is my sister, my bride;
- a locked up spring,
- a sealed fountain.
-
13Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits:
- henna with spikenard plants,
-
14spikenard and saffron,
- calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree;
- myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
-
15a fountain of gardens,
- a well of living waters,
- flowing streams from Lebanon.
-
16Awake, north wind; and come, you south!
- Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out.
- Let my beloved come into his garden,
- and taste his precious fruits.
