How beautiful you are, my darling— Sng 1:15Sng 6:5Sng 6:7Mic 7:14Sng 2:14Sng 4:9-10Sng 7:52Co 3:18
how very beautiful!
Your eyes are like doves
behind your veil.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
streaming down Mount Gilead.
Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep Sng 6:61Th 2:132Pe 1:5-8Col 1:4-6Deu 7:13-14Exo 23:26Jer 15:16Jhn 15:7
coming up from the washing;
each has its twin,
and not one of them is lost.
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon, Sng 6:7Jos 2:18Sng 5:162Co 5:18-21Col 3:16-17Col 4:6Eph 4:29Ezk 16:63
and your mouth is lovely.
Your brow behind your veil
is like a slice of pomegranate.
Your neck is like the tower of David, Sng 7:41Pe 1:5Eph 4:15-16Ezk 27:10-11Neh 3:192Ch 12:9-112Sa 22:51Col 2:19
built with rows of stones;
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
Your breasts are like two fawns, Sng 2:16Sng 6:3Sng 7:31Pe 2:2Pro 5:19Sng 8:10Isa 66:10-12Sng 1:13
twins of a gazelle grazing among the lilies.
Before the day breaks and the shadows flee, Sng 2:17Sng 4:14Luk 1:781Jn 2:82Pe 1:19Deu 12:5-6Exo 20:24Exo 30:23-26
I will make my way
to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of frankincense.
You are altogether beautiful, my darling; Sng 1:15Sng 4:1Col 1:22Eph 5:25-27Jud 1:24Psa 45:112Pe 3:14Psa 45:13

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, Deu 3:9Sng 2:131Ch 5:23Psa 45:10Isa 62:51Ki 4:33Col 3:1-2Deu 3:25
come with me from Lebanon!
Descend 1from the peak of Amana,
from the summits of Senir and Hermon,
from the dens of the lions,
from the mountains of the leopards.
You have captured my heart, Pro 5:19-20Sng 4:12Sng 5:1-22Co 11:2Hos 2:19-20Sng 7:10Sng 7:5-6Ezk 16:8
my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your neck.
How delightful is your love, Sng 1:2-4Gal 5:22Sng 7:6Php 4:18Sng 1:12Sng 3:6Sng 5:52Co 1:21-22
my sister, my bride!
Your love is much better than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume than all spices.
Your lips, my bride, Sng 5:1Gen 27:27Hos 14:6-7Sng 5:13Sng 7:9Heb 13:15Hos 14:2Isa 7:15
drip sweetness like the honeycomb;
honey and milk are under your tongue,
and the fragrance of your garments
is like the aroma of Lebanon.
My sister, my bride, you are a garden locked up, Pro 5:15-18Rev 21:271Co 6:13Isa 61:10-111Co 6:19-201Co 7:34Rev 7:32Co 1:22
a spring enclosed, a fountain sealed.
Your branches are an orchard of pomegranates Sng 1:14Ecc 2:5Sng 6:11Sng 1:12Isa 60:21Isa 61:11Jhn 12:3Jhn 15:1-3
with the choicest of fruits, with henna and nard,
with nard and saffron, with calamus and cinnamon, Exo 30:23Sng 4:6Sng 3:6Sng 6:2Ezk 27:19Pro 7:17Sng 1:121Ki 10:10
with every kind of frankincense tree,
with myrrh and aloes,
with all the finest spices.
You are a garden spring, Jhn 4:10Jhn 4:14Jhn 7:38Jer 2:13Ecc 2:6Jer 17:13Jer 18:13-14Psa 36:8-9
a well of fresh water 2
flowing down from Lebanon.
The Bride
Awake, O north wind, Sng 6:2Sng 5:11Pe 2:5Act 2:1-2Ezk 37:9Sng 4:13-14Sng 7:12-131Th 2:12-13
and come, O south wind.
Breathe on my garden
and spread the fragrance of its spices.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choicest fruits.
