Song of Songs 4
Revised Webster's Bible
1Behold, thou artfairH3303, my loveH7474; behold, thou artfairH3303; thou hastdovesH3123’ eyesH5869 withinH1157 thy locksH6777: thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, that appearH1570 from mountH2022 GileadH1568.1 2Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of sheep that are even shornH7094, which came upH5927 from the washingH7367; all of which bear twinsH8382, and none is barrenH7909 among them. 3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, and thy speechH4057 is comelyH5000: thy templesH7541 are like a pieceH6400 of pomegranateH7416 withinH1157 thy locksH6777. 4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732 builtH1129 for an armouryH8530, on which 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 shall breakH6315, and the shadowsH6752 flee awayH5127, I will go upH3212 to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, and to the hillH1389 of frankincenseH3828.2 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 lionsH738’ densH4585, from the mountainsH2042 of the leopardsH5246. 9Thou hast ravished my heartH3823, my sisterH269, my spouseH3618; thou hast ravished my heartH3823 with oneH259 of thy eyesH5869, with oneH259 chainH6060 of thy neckH6677.3 10How fairH3302 is thy loveH1730, my sisterH269, my spouseH3618! how much betterH2895 is thy loveH1730 than wineH3196! and the fragranceH7381 of thy ointmentsH8081 than all spicesH1314! 11Thy lipsH8193, O my spouseH3618, dropH5197 as the honeycombH5317: honeyH1706 and milkH2461 are under thy tongueH3956; and the scentH7381 of thy garmentsH8008 is like the fragranceH7381 of LebanonH3844. 12A gardenH1588 inclosedH5274 is my sisterH269, my spouseH3618; a springH1530 shut upH5274, a fountainH4599 sealedH2856.45 13Thy plantsH7973 are an orchardH6508 of pomegranatesH7416, with pleasantH4022 fruitsH6529; hennaH3724, with spikenardH5373,6 14SpikenardH5373 and saffronH3750; calamusH7070 and cinnamonH7076, with all treesH6086 of frankincenseH3828; myrrhH4753 and aloesH174, with all the chiefH7218 spicesH1314:
15A fountainH4599 of gardensH1588, a wellH875 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and streamsH5140 from LebanonH3844. 16AwakeH5782, O north windH6828; and comeH935, thou southH8486; blowH6315 upon my gardenH1588, that its spicesH1314 may flow outH5140. Let my belovedH1730 comeH935 into his gardenH1588, and eatH398 his pleasantH4022 fruitsH6529.
