4:1 | Behold, thou [art] fair <03303>, my love <07474>; behold, thou [art] fair <03303>; thou [hast] doves <03123>' eyes <05869> within <01157> thy locks <06777>: thy hair <08181> [is] as a flock <05739> of goats <05795>, that appear <01570> from mount <02022> Gilead <01568>. {that...: or, that eat of, etc} |
4:2 | Thy teeth <08127> [are] like a flock <05739> [of sheep that are even] shorn <07094> (8803), which came up <05927> (8804) from the washing <07367>; whereof every one bear twins <08382> (8688), and none [is] barren <07909> among them. |
4:3 | Thy lips <08193> [are] like a thread <02339> of scarlet <08144>, and thy speech <04057> [is] comely <05000>: thy temples <07541> [are] like a piece <06400> of a pomegranate <07416> within <01157> thy locks <06777>. |
4:4 | Thy neck <06677> [is] like the tower <04026> of David <01732> builded <01129> (8803) for an armoury <08530>, whereon there hang <08518> (8803) a thousand <0505> bucklers <04043>, all shields <07982> of mighty men <01368>. |
4:5 | Thy two <08147> breasts <07699> [are] like two <08147> young <06082> roes <06646> that are twins <08380>, which feed <07462> (8802) among the lilies <07799>. |
4:6 | Until the day <03117> break <06315> (8799), and the shadows <06752> flee away <05127> (8804), I will get <03212> (8799) me to the mountain <02022> of myrrh <04753>, and to the hill <01389> of frankincense <03828>. {break: Heb. breathe} |
4:7 | Thou [art] all fair <03303>, my love <07474>; [there is] no spot <03971> in thee. |
4:8 | Come <0935> (8799) with me from Lebanon <03844>, [my] spouse <03618>, with me from Lebanon <03844>: look <07789> (8799) from the top <07218> of Amana <0549>, from the top <07218> of Shenir <08149> and Hermon <02768>, from the lions <0738>' dens <04585>, from the mountains <02042> of the leopards <05246>. |
4:9 | Thou hast ravished my heart <03823> (8765), my sister <0269>, [my] spouse <03618>; thou hast ravished my heart <03823> (8765) with one <0259> of thine eyes <05869>, with one <0259> chain <06060> of thy neck <06677>. {ravished: or, taken away} |
4:10 | How fair <03302> (8804) is thy love <01730>, my sister <0269>, [my] spouse <03618>! how much better <02895> (8804) is thy love <01730> than wine <03196>! and the smell <07381> of thine ointments <08081> than all spices <01314>! |
4:11 | Thy lips <08193>, O [my] spouse <03618>, drop <05197> (8799) [as] the honeycomb <05317>: honey <01706> and milk <02461> [are] under thy tongue <03956>; and the smell <07381> of thy garments <08008> [is] like the smell <07381> of Lebanon <03844>. |
4:12 | A garden <01588> inclosed <05274> (8803) [is] my sister <0269>, [my] spouse <03618>; a spring <01530> shut up <05274> (8803), a fountain <04599> sealed <02856> (8803). {inclosed: Heb. barred} {shut up: Heb. barred} |
4:13 | Thy plants <07973> [are] an orchard <06508> of pomegranates <07416>, with pleasant <04022> fruits <06529>; camphire <03724>, with spikenard <05373>, {camphire: or, cypress} |
4:14 | Spikenard <05373> and saffron <03750>; calamus <07070> and cinnamon <07076>, with all trees <06086> of frankincense <03828>; myrrh <04753> and aloes <0174>, with all the chief <07218> spices <01314>: |
4:15 | A fountain <04599> of gardens <01588>, a well <0875> of living <02416> waters <04325>, and streams <05140> (8802) from Lebanon <03844>. |
4:16 | Awake <05782> (8798), O north wind <06828>; and come <0935> (8798), thou south <08486>; blow <06315> (8685) upon my garden <01588>, [that] the spices <01314> thereof may flow out <05140> (8799). Let my beloved <01730> come <0935> (8799) into his garden <01588>, and eat <0398> (8799) his pleasant <04022> fruits <06529>. |
