Song of Songs 4:9-12

9Thou hast ravished my heartH3823, my sisterH269, my spouseH3618; thou hast ravished my heartH3823 with oneH259 of thine eyesH5869, with oneH259 chainH6060 of thy neckH6677.1

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.

12A gardenH1588 inclosedH5274 is my sisterH269, my spouseH3618; a springH1530 shut upH5274, a fountainH4599 sealedH2856.23
