Song of Songs 4:12 - 5:1

12
A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up.
13
Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates
With choice fruits, henna with nard plants,
14
Nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
With all the trees of frankincense,
Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest spices.
15
You are a garden spring,
A well of fresh water,
And streams flowing from Lebanon.”

16
“Awake, O north wind,
And come, wind of the south;
Make my garden breathe out fragrance,
Let its spices flow forth.
May my beloved come into his garden
And eat its choice fruits!”

The Bride Searches for Her Beloved

“I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have picked my myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, friends;
Drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.”
