Song of Songs 4:9-14

9You have made my heart beat faster, 1my sister, my bride; You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes, With a single strand of your 2necklace.10 3How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much 4better is your love than wine, And the 5fragrance of your oils Than all kinds of 6spices!11Your lips, my bride, 7drip 8honey; Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments is like the 9fragrance of Lebanon.12A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A 10rock garden locked, a 11spring 12sealed up.13Your shoots are an 13 14orchard of 15pomegranates With 16choice fruits, 17henna with nard plants,14 18Nard and saffron, calamus and 19cinnamon, With all the trees of 20frankincense, 21Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest 22spices.
