Solomon Praises the Beauty of His Bride

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:1 -

[fn]Behold, you are beautiful, my darling,

Behold, you are beautiful!

Your eyes are like doves behind your veil;

Your hair is like a flock of goats

That have leapt down from Mount Gilead.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:2 -

“Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewes

Which have come up from their washing,

All of which bear twins,

And not one among them has [fn]lost her young.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:3 -

“Your lips are like a scarlet thread,

And your mouth is lovely.

Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate

Behind your veil.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:4 -

“Your neck is like the tower of David,

Built [fn]with rows of stones

On which are hung one thousand shields,

All the small shields of the mighty men.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:5 -

“Your two breasts are like two fawns,

Twins of a gazelle

Which [fn]feed among the lilies.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:6 -

“Until the day breathes

And the shadows flee,

I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh

And to the hill of frankincense.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:7 -

“You are altogether beautiful, my darling,

And there is no blemish in you.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:8 -

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,

May you come with me from Lebanon.

[fn]Journey down from the top of Amana,

From the top of Senir and Hermon,

From the dens of lions,

From the mountains of leopards.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:9 -

“You have made my heart beat faster, my sister, my bride;

You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes,

With a single strand of your necklace.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:10 -

“How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!

How much better is your love than wine,

And the fragrance of your oils

Than all kinds of [fn]spices!

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:11 -

“Your lips, my bride, drip honey from the comb;

Honey and milk are under your tongue,

And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:12 -

“A garden locked is my sister, my bride,

A [fn]rock garden locked, a spring sealed up.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:13 -

“Your shoots are [fn]an orchard of pomegranates

With choice fruits, henna with nard plants,

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:14 -

Nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,

With all the trees of frankincense,

Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest [fn]spices.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:15 -

You are a garden spring,

A well of [fn]fresh water,

And streams flowing from Lebanon.”

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:16 -

[fn]Awake, O north wind,

And come, wind of the south;

Make my garden breathe out fragrance,

Let its [fn]spices flow forth.

May my beloved come into his garden

And eat its choice fruits!”
