Song of Songs 4

Darby Bible

1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyesH5869 are dovesH3123 behind thy veilH6777; Thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, On the slopes of mount GileadH1568. 2Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of shorn sheep, Which goH5927 up from the washingH7367; Which have all borne twinsH8382, And none is barren among them. 3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, And thy speech is comely; As a piece of a pomegranateH7416 are thy templesH7541 Behind thy veilH6777. 4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732, BuiltH1129 for an armoury: A thousandH505 bucklers hangH8518 thereon, All shieldsH4043 of mightyH1368 menH1368. 5Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 fawnsH6082, twinsH8380 of a gazelleH6646, Which feedH7462 among the liliesH7799. 6Until the dayH3117 dawn, and the shadows fleeH5127 away, I will get me to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, And to the hillH2022 of frankincenseH3828. 7Thou art all fair, my love; And there is no spot in thee. 8[ComeH935] with me, from LebanonH3844, [my] spouse, With me from LebanonH3844, — ComeH935, look from the topH7218 of Amanah, From the topH7218 of SenirH8149 and HermonH2768, From the lions' densH4585, From the mountainsH2042 of the leopardsH5246. 9Thou hast ravished my heart, my sisterH269, [my] spouse; Thou hast ravished my heart with oneH259 of thine eyesH5869, With oneH259 chain of thy neckH6677. 10HowH4100 fair is thy love, my sisterH269, [my] spouse! HowH4100 much better is thy love than wineH3196! And the fragrance of thine ointments than all spicesH1314! 11Thy lipsH8193, [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb; HoneyH1706 and milkH2461 are under thy tongueH3956; And the smell of thy garmentsH8008 is like the smell of LebanonH3844. 12A gardenH1588 enclosed is my sisterH269, [my] spouse; A springH4599 shut up, a fountain sealedH2856. 13Thy shoots are a paradise of pomegranatesH7416, with precious fruitsH6529; HennaH3724 with spikenard plants; 14Spikenard and saffron; CalamusH7070 and cinnamonH7076, with all treesH6086 of frankincenseH3828; MyrrhH4753 and aloes, with all the chiefH7218 spicesH1314: 15A fountain in the gardensH1588, A wellH875 of living watersH4325, Which stream from LebanonH3844. 16AwakeH5782, northH6828 windH8486, and comeH935, [thou] southH8486; Blow upon my gardenH1588, [that] the spicesH1314 thereof may flowH5140 forth. Let my beloved comeH935 into his gardenH1588, And eatH398 its precious fruitsH6529.
