NASB Bible

Song of Solomon 4

Solomon's Love Expressed

1

1\, 2How beautiful  ayou are, my darling,  2How beautiful you are! Your  beyes are like doves  cbehind your veil; Your  dhair is like a flock of goats That have descended from Mount  eGilead.

2

"Your  ateeth 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  1lost her young.

3

"Your lips are like a  ascarlet thread, And your  bmouth is lovely. Your  ctemples are like a slice of a pomegranate Behind your veil.

4

"Your  aneck is like the tower of David, Built  1with rows of stones On which are  bhung a thousand shields, All the round  cshields of the mighty men.

5

"Your  atwo breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle Which  bfeed among the lilies.

6

aUntil  1the cool of the day When the shadows flee away, I will go my way to the mountain of  bmyrrh And to the hill of  bfrankincense.

7

aYou are altogether beautiful, my darling, And there is no blemish in you.

8

"Come with me from  aLebanon, my  bbride, May you come with me from Lebanon.  1Journey down from the summit of  cAmana, From the summit of  dSenir and Hermon, From the dens of lions, From the mountains of leopards.

9

"You have made my heart beat faster,  amy sister, my bride; You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes, With a single strand of your  bnecklace.

10

aHow beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much  bbetter is your love than wine, And the  cfragrance of your oils Than all kinds of  1spices!

11

"Your lips, my bride,  adrip  bhoney; Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments is like the  cfragrance of Lebanon.

12

"A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A  1rock garden locked, a  aspring  bsealed up.

13

"Your shoots are an  1 aorchard of  bpomegranates With  cchoice fruits,  dhenna with nard plants,

14

 aNard and saffron, calamus and  bcinnamon, With all the trees of  cfrankincense,  dMyrrh and aloes, along with all the finest  1spices.

15

"You are a garden spring, A well of  1 afresh water, And streams flowing from Lebanon."

16

1Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my  agarden breathe out fragrance, Let its  2spices  3be wafted abroad. May  bmy beloved come into his garden And eat its  cchoice fruits!"
