Song of Songs 4:10-16

10 1How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much 2 3sweeter is your love than wine, And the 4fragrance of your oils Than that of all kinds of balsam oils!11Your lips 5drip 6honey, my bride; Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments is like the 7fragrance of Lebanon.12A locked garden is my sister, my bride, A locked spring, a 8sealed 9fountain.13Your branches are an 10 11orchard of 12pomegranates With 13delicious fruits, 14henna with nard plants,14 15Nard and saffron, spice reed and 16cinnamon, With all the trees of 17frankincense, 18Myrrh, and aloes, along with all the finest balsam oils.15You are a garden spring, A well of 19 20fresh water, And flowing streams from Lebanon.”

16“Awake, north wind, And come, wind of the south; 21Make my 22garden breathe out fragrance, May its balsam oils flow. May 23my beloved come into his garden And eat its 24delicious fruits!”
