Song of Songs 4
Revised Version 1895
1BeholdH2005, thou art fairH3303, my love; beholdH2005, thou art fairH3303; thine eyesH5869 are as dovesH3123 behindH1157 thy veilH6777: thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, that lie along the side of mountH2022 GileadH1568. 2Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of ewesH7094 that are newly shornH7094, which are comeH5927 upH5927 from the washingH7367; whereof everyH3605 one hath twinsH8382, and noneH369 is bereaved among them. 3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, and thy mouth is comelyH5000: thy templesH7541 are like a pieceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 behindH1157 thy veilH6777. 4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732 builded for an armoury, whereon there hangH8518 a thousandH505 bucklers, allH3605 the shieldsH4043 of the mightyH1368 menH1368. 5Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 fawnsH6082 that are twinsH8380 of a roe, which feedH7462 among the liliesH7799. 6UntilH5704 the dayH3117 be coolH6315, and the shadows fleeH5127 awayH5127, I will get meH413 to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, and to the hillH2022 of frankincenseH3828. 7Thou art allH3605 fairH3303, my love; and there is noH369 spotH3971 in thee. 8ComeH935 with meH935 from LebanonH3844, my brideH3618, with meH935 from LebanonH3844: lookH7789 from the topH7218 of AmanaH549, from the topH7218 of SenirH8149 and HermonH2768, from the lions’H738 densH4585, from the mountainsH2042 of the leopardsH5246. 9Thou hast ravished my heart, my sisterH269, my brideH3618; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyesH5869, with one chain of thy neckH6677. 10HowH4100 fairH2895 is thy loveH1730, my sisterH269, my brideH3618! howH4100 muchH4100 better is thy loveH1730 thanH3605 wineH3196! and the smell of thine ointments thanH3605 allH3605 manner of spicesH1314! 11Thy lipsH8193, O my brideH3618, drop as the honeycomb: honeyH1706 and milkH2461 are underH8478 thy tongueH3956; and the smell of thy garmentsH8008 is like the smell of LebanonH3844. 12A gardenH1588 shutH2856 upH2856 is my sisterH269, my brideH3618; a springH4599 shutH2856 upH2856, a fountainH4599 sealedH2856. 13Thy shootsH7973 are an orchardH6508 of pomegranatesH7416, with precious fruitsH6529; hennaH3724 with spikenard plantsH5373, 14Spikenard and saffronH3750, calamusH7070 and cinnamonH7076, with allH3605 treesH6086 of frankincenseH3828; myrrhH4753 and aloesH174, with allH3605 the chiefH7218 spicesH1314. 15Thou art a fountainH4599 of gardensH1588, a wellH875 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and flowingH5140 streamsH5140 from LebanonH3844. 16AwakeH5782, O northH6828 windH8486; and comeH935, thou southH8486; blowH6315 uponH935 my gardenH1588, that the spicesH1314 thereof may flowH5140 outH6315. Let my belovedH1730 comeH935 intoH935 his gardenH1588, and eatH398 his precious fruitsH6529.
