Song of Songs 4:12-5:1 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹²“A garden locked is my sister, my bride,A ¹rock garden locked, a ^aspring ^bsealed up.¹³“Your shoots are ¹an ^aorchard of ^bpomegranatesWith ^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 flow forth.May ^bmy beloved come into his gardenAnd eat its ^cchoice fruits!”

The Bride Searches for Her Beloved

5“¹I have ^acome into my garden, ^bmy sister, my bride;I have picked my ^cmyrrh along with my balsam.I have eaten my honeycomb with my ^dhoney;I have ^edrunk my wine with my milk.Eat, ^ffriends;Drink and ²imbibe deeply, O lovers.”
