Song of Songs 4:10-16
101How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much 2better is your love than wine, And the 3fragrance of your oils Than all kinds of 4spices!11Your lips, my bride, 5drip 6honey; Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments is like the 7fragrance of Lebanon.12A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A 8rock garden locked, a 9spring 10sealed up.13Your shoots are an 1112orchard of 13pomegranates With 14choice fruits, 15henna with nard plants,1416Nard and saffron, calamus and 17cinnamon, With all the trees of 18frankincense, 19Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest 20spices.15You are a garden spring, A well of 2122fresh water, And streams flowing from Lebanon.”
16“23Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my 24garden breathe out fragrance, Let its 25spices 26be wafted abroad. May 27my beloved come into his garden And eat its 28choice fruits!”
