My sister, my bride, you are a locked garden —

a locked garden[fn] and a sealed spring.

You are a garden spring,

a well of flowing water

streaming from Lebanon.

I have come to my garden ​— ​my sister, my bride.

I gather[fn] my myrrh with my spices.

I eat my honeycomb with my honey.

I drink my wine with my milk.

Eat, friends!

Drink, be intoxicated with caresses![fn]

My love has gone down to his garden,

to beds of spice,

to feed in the gardens

and gather lilies.

I came down to the walnut grove

to see the blossoms of the valley,

to see if the vines were budding

and the pomegranates blooming.

You[fn] who dwell in the gardens,

companions are listening for your voice;

let me hear you!

Indeed, they[fn] will be ashamed of the sacred trees

you desired,

and you will be embarrassed because of the garden shrines

you have chosen.

“The LORD will always lead you,

satisfy you in a parched land,

and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up,

so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise

to spring up before all the nations.

to my face,

This is the LORD’s declaration.

I struck you with blight and mildew;

the locust devoured

your many gardens and vineyards,

your fig trees and olive trees,

yet you did not return to me.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel.[fn]

They will rebuild and occupy ruined cities,

plant vineyards and drink their wine,

make gardens and eat their produce.
