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.

[1] Behold, thou [art] fair H3303, my love H7474; behold, thou [art] fair H3303; thou [hast] doves H3123’ eyes H5869 within H1157 thy locks H6777: thy hair H8181 [is] as a flock H5739 of goats H5795, that appear H1570 from mount H2022 Gilead H1568.
[2] Thy teeth H8127 [are] like a flock H5739 [of sheep that are even] shorn H7094 (8803), which came up H5927 (8804) from the washing H7367; whereof every one bear twins H8382 (8688), and none [is] barren H7909 among them.
[3] Thy lips H8193 [are] like a thread H2339 of scarlet H8144, and thy speech H4057 [is] comely H5000: thy temples H7541 [are] like a piece H6400 of a pomegranate H7416 within H1157 thy locks H6777.
[4] Thy neck H6677 [is] like the tower H4026 of David H1732 builded H1129 (8803) for an armoury H8530, whereon there hang H8518 (8803) a thousand H505 bucklers H4043, all shields H7982 of mighty men H1368.
[5] Thy two H8147 breasts H7699 [are] like two H8147 young H6082 roes H6646 that are twins H8380, which feed H7462 (8802) among the lilies H7799.
[6] Until the day H3117 break H6315 (8799), and the shadows H6752 flee away H5127 (8804), I will get H3212 (8799) me to the mountain H2022 of myrrh H4753, and to the hill H1389 of frankincense H3828.
[7] Thou [art] all fair H3303, my love H7474; [there is] no spot H3971 in thee.
[8] Come H935 (8799) with me from Lebanon H3844, [my] spouse H3618, with me from Lebanon H3844: look H7789 (8799) from the top H7218 of Amana H549, from the top H7218 of Shenir H8149 and Hermon H2768, from the lions H738’ dens H4585, from the mountains H2042 of the leopards H5246.
[9] Thou hast ravished my heart H3823 (8765), my sister H269, [my] spouse H3618; thou hast ravished my heart H3823 (8765) with one H259 of thine eyes H5869, with one H259 chain H6060 of thy neck H6677.
[10] How fair H3302 (8804) is thy love H1730, my sister H269, [my] spouse H3618! how much better H2895 (8804) is thy love H1730 than wine H3196! and the smell H7381 of thine ointments H8081 than all spices H1314!
[11] Thy lips H8193, O [my] spouse H3618, drop H5197 (8799) [as] the honeycomb H5317: honey H1706 and milk H2461 [are] under thy tongue H3956; and the smell H7381 of thy garments H8008 [is] like the smell H7381 of Lebanon H3844.
[12] A garden H1588 inclosed H5274 (8803) [is] my sister H269, [my] spouse H3618; a spring H1530 shut up H5274 (8803), a fountain H4599 sealed H2856 (8803).
[13] Thy plants H7973 [are] an orchard H6508 of pomegranates H7416, with pleasant H4022 fruits H6529; camphire H3724, with spikenard H5373,
[14] Spikenard H5373 and saffron H3750; calamus H7070 and cinnamon H7076, with all trees H6086 of frankincense H3828; myrrh H4753 and aloes H174, with all the chief H7218 spices H1314:
[15] A fountain H4599 of gardens H1588, a well H875 of living H2416 waters H4325, and streams H5140 (8802) from Lebanon H3844.
[16] Awake H5782 (8798), O north wind H6828; and come H935 (8798), thou south H8486; blow H6315 (8685) upon my garden H1588, [that] the spices H1314 thereof may flow out H5140 (8799). Let my beloved H1730 come H935 (8799) into his garden H1588, and eat H398 (8799) his pleasant H4022 fruits H6529.

Young’s Literal Translation

Song of Solomon 4 (YLT)

[1] Lo, thou art fair, my friend, lo, thou art fair, Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil, Thy hair as a row of the goats That have shone from mount Gilead,
[2] Thy teeth as a row of the shorn ones That have come up from the washing, For all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.
[3] As a thread of scarlet are thy lips, And thy speech is comely, As the work of the pomegranate is thy temple behind thy veil,
[4] As the tower of David is thy neck, built for an armoury, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty.
[5] Thy two breasts are as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies.
[6] Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, I will get me unto the mountain of myrrh, And unto the hill of frankincense.
[7] Thou art all fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,
[8] Come from Lebanon, come thou in. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of lions, From the mountains of leopards.
[9] Thou hast emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.
[10] How wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes than all spices.
[11] Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk are under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments Is as the fragrance of Lebanon.
[12] A garden shut up is my sister-spouse, A spring shut up-a fountain sealed.
[13] Thy shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,
[14] Cypresses with nard-nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices.
[15] A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings from Lebanon!
[16] Awake, O north wind, and come, O south, Cause my garden to breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his garden, And eat its pleasant fruits!
