Song of Solomon 4:9-16 ▼

9 You have encouraged me, O my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with a look of one of your eyes, with one necklace of your neck.

10 How beautiful are your breasts, O my sister, my bride! how much better are your breasts than wine! and the fragrance of your ointments than all spices!

11 Your lips drop as the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the fragrance of your garments is like the perfume of Lebanon.

12 A garden enclosed is my sister, my bride; yea, a garden guarded, a fountain sealed.

13 Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; henna-flower with spikenard.

14 Spikenard and saffron; sweet cane and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices;

15 They are a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, flowing from Lebanon.

16 Awake, O north wind, and come, O you south wind; blow upon my garden that the perfume may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden and eat his pleasant fruit.
