Song of Songs 4 :: King James Version (KJV)

Sng 4:1

Sng 4:1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

Sng 4:2

Sng 4:2Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

Sng 4:3

Sng 4:3Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

Sng 4:4

Sng 4:4Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

Sng 4:5

Sng 4:5Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

Sng 4:6

Sng 4:6Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

Sng 4:7

Sng 4:7Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

Sng 4:8

Sng 4:8Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

Sng 4:9

Sng 4:9Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

Sng 4:10

Sng 4:10How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

Sng 4:11

Sng 4:11Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

Sng 4:12

Sng 4:12A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

Sng 4:13

Sng 4:13Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,

Sng 4:14

Sng 4:14Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

Sng 4:15

Sng 4:15A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

Sng 4:16

Sng 4:16Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
