Song of Solomon 4 (WEBP)

[1] Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair is as a flock of goats, that descend from Mount Gilead.
[2] Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, which have come up from the washing, where every one of them has twins. None is bereaved among them.
[3] Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
[4] Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory, on which a thousand shields hang, all the shields of the mighty men.
[5] Your two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe, which feed among the lilies.
[6] Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, to the hill of frankincense.
[7] You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.
[8] Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
[9] You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
[10] How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, the fragrance of your perfumes than all kinds of spices!
[11] Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
[12] My sister, my bride, is a locked up garden; a locked up spring, a sealed fountain.
[13] Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits, henna with spikenard plants,
[14] spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree; myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
[15] a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, flowing streams from Lebanon.
[16] Awake, north wind, and come, you south! Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits.

Song of Solomon 4 (KJVS)

[1] Behold, thou art fair, my love; Behold, thou art fair; Thou hast doves’ eyes Within thy locks: Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That appear from mount Gilead.
[2] Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, Which came up from the washing; Whereof every one bear twins, And none is barren among them.
[3] Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely: Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate Within thy locks.
[4] Thy neck is like the tower of David Builded for an armoury, Whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, All shields of mighty men.
[5] Thy two breasts are like two young roes That are twins, Which feed among the lilies.
[6] Until the day break, And the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense.
[7] Thou art all fair, my love; There is no spot in thee.
[8] Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, With me from Lebanon: Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the lions’ dens, From the mountains of the leopards.
[9] Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.
[10] How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! How much better is thy love than wine! And the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
[11] Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
[12] A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
[13] Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, With pleasant fruits; Camphire, with spikenard,
[14] Spikenard and saffron; Calamus and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
[15] A fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
[16] Awake, O north wind; And come, thou south; Blow upon my garden, That the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat his pleasant fruits.
