The Song of Songs of Solomon

Chapter-4

Song of Songs 4:1 Groom to Bride: How beautiful you are, my love, how beautiful you are! Your eyes are those of a dove, except for what is hidden within. Your hair is like flocks of goats, which ascend along the mountain of Gilead.

Song of Songs 4:2 Your teeth are like flocks of shorn sheep, which ascend from the washing, each one with its identical twin, and not one among them is barren.

Song of Songs 4:3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon, and your eloquence is sweetness. Like a piece of pomegranate, so are your cheeks, except for what is hidden within.

Song of Songs 4:4 Your neck is like the tower of David, which was built with ramparts: a thousand shields are hanging from it, all the armor of the strong.

Song of Songs 4:5 Your two breasts are like two young does, twins that pasture among the lilies.

Song of Songs 4:6 Until the day rises and the shadows decline, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.

Song of Songs 4:7 You are totally beautiful, my love, and there is no blemish in you.

Song of Songs 4:8 Advance from Lebanon, my spouse, advance from Lebanon, advance. You shall be crowned at the head of Amana, near the summit of Senir and Hermon, by the dens of lions, by the mountains of leopards.

Song of Songs 4:9 You have wounded my heart, my sister, my spouse. You have wounded my heart with one look of your eyes, and with one lock of hair on your neck.

Song of Songs 4:10 How beautiful are your breasts, my sister, my spouse! Your breasts are more beautiful than wine, and the fragrance of your ointments is above all aromatic oils.

Song of Songs 4:11 Your lips, my spouse, are a dripping honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue. And the fragrance of your garments is like the odor of frankincense.

Song of Songs 4:12 An enclosed garden is my sister, my spouse: an enclosed garden, a sealed fountain.

Song of Songs 4:13 You send forth a paradise of pomegranates along with the fruits of the orchard: Cypress grapes, with aromatic oil;

Song of Songs 4:14 aromatic oil and saffron; sweet cane and cinnamon, with all the trees of Lebanon; myrrh and aloe, with all the best ointments.

Song of Songs 4:15 The fountain of the gardens is a well of living waters, which flow forcefully from Lebanon.

Song of Songs 4:16 Rise up, north wind, and advance, south wind. Send a breeze through my garden, and carry its aromatic scents.
