Song of Songs 4:12-16
12A locked garden is my sister, my bride, A locked spring, a 1sealed 2fountain.13Your branches are an 34orchard of 5pomegranates With 6delicious fruits, 7henna with nard plants,148Nard and saffron, spice reed and 9cinnamon, With all the trees of 10frankincense, 11Myrrh, and aloes, along with all the finest balsam oils.15You are a garden spring, A well of 1213fresh water, And flowing streams from Lebanon.”
16“Awake, north wind, And come, wind of the south; 14Make my 15garden breathe out fragrance, May its balsam oils flow. May 16my beloved come into his garden And eat its 17delicious fruits!”
