Song of Songs 4:6-16
New International Version
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(A)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(B)
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful,(C) my darling;
there is no flaw(D) in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(E)
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir,(F) the summit of Hermon,(G)
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;(H)
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.(I)
10 How delightful(J) is your love(K), my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,(L)
and the fragrance of your perfume(M)
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.(N)
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.(O)
12 You are a garden(P) locked up, my sister, my bride;(Q)
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(R)
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates(S)
with choice fruits,
with henna(T) and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,(U)
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh(V) and aloes(W)
and all the finest spices.(X)
15 You are[a] a garden(Y) fountain,(Z)
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
