Song of Songs 4:3-11
3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, and thy speechH4057 is comelyH5000: thy templesH7541 are like a pieceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 withinH1157 thy locksH6777. 4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732 buildedH1129 for an armouryH8530, whereon there hangH8518 a thousandH505 bucklersH4043, all shieldsH7982 of mighty menH1368. 5Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 youngH6082 roesH6646 that are twinsH8380, which feedH7462 among the liliesH7799. 6Until the dayH3117 breakH6315, and the shadowsH6752 flee awayH5127, I will getH3212 me to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, and to the hillH1389 of frankincenseH3828.1 7Thou art all fairH3303, my loveH7474; there is no spotH3971 in thee.
8ComeH935 with me from LebanonH3844, my spouseH3618, with me from LebanonH3844: lookH7789 from the topH7218 of AmanaH549, from the topH7218 of ShenirH8149 and HermonH2768, from the lions’H738 densH4585, from the mountainsH2042 of the leopardsH5246. 9Thou hast ravished my heartH3823, my sisterH269, my spouseH3618; thou hast ravished my heartH3823 with oneH259 of thine eyesH5869, with oneH259 chainH6060 of thy neckH6677.2 10How fairH3302 is thy loveH1730, my sisterH269, my spouseH3618! how much betterH2895 is thy loveH1730 than wineH3196! and the smellH7381 of thine ointmentsH8081 than all spicesH1314! 11Thy lipsH8193, O my spouseH3618, dropH5197 as the honeycombH5317: honeyH1706 and milkH2461 are under thy tongueH3956; and the smellH7381 of thy garmentsH8008 is like the smellH7381 of LebanonH3844.
