Song of Solomon 4

Solomon’s Love Expressed

^{Tools
1}

“^(a)^(b)How beautiful ^(A)you are, my darling,
^(c)How beautiful you are!
Your ^(B)eyes are like doves ^(C)behind your veil;
Your ^(D)hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Mount ^(E)Gilead.

^{Tools
2}

“Your ^(F)teeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has ^(d)lost her young.

^{Tools
3}

“Your lips are like a ^(G)scarlet thread,
And your ^(H)mouth is lovely.
Your ^(I)temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.

^{Tools
4}

“Your ^(J)neck is like the tower of David,
Built ^(e)with rows of stones
On which are ^(K)hung a thousand shields,
All the round ^(L)shields of the mighty men.

^{Tools
5}

“Your ^(M)two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle
Which ^(N)feed among the lilies.

^{Tools
6}

“^(O)Until ^(f)the cool of the day
When the shadows flee away,
I will go my way to the mountain of ^(P)myrrh
And to the hill of ^(Q)frankincense.

^{Tools
7}

“^(R)You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
And there is no blemish in you.

^{Tools
8}

“Come with me from ^(S)Lebanon, my ^(T)bride,
May you come with me from Lebanon.
^(g)Journey down from the summit of ^(U)Amana,
From the summit of ^(V)Senir and Hermon,
From the dens of lions,
From the mountains of leopards.

^{Tools
9}

“You have made my heart beat faster, ^(W)my sister, my bride;
You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes,
With a single strand of your ^(X)necklace.

^{Tools
10}

“^(Y)How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much ^(Z)better is your love than wine,
And the ^(AA)fragrance of your oils
Than all kinds of ^(h)spices!

^{Tools
11}

“Your lips, my bride, ^(AB)drip ^(AC)honey;
Honey and milk are under your tongue,
And the fragrance of your garments is like the ^(AD)fragrance of Lebanon.

^{Tools
12}

“A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
A ⁽ⁱ⁾rock garden locked, a ^(AE)spring ^(AF)sealed up.

^{Tools
13}

“Your shoots are an ^(j)^(AG)orchard of ^(AH)pomegranates
With ^(AI)choice fruits, ^(AJ)henna with nard plants,

^{Tools
14}

^(AK)Nard and saffron, calamus and ^(AL)cinnamon,
With all the trees of ^(AM)frankincense,
^(AN)Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest ^(k)spices.

^{Tools
15}

“You are a garden spring,
A well of ^(l)^(AO)fresh water,
And streams flowing from Lebanon.”

^{Tools
16}

“^(m)Awake, O north wind,
And come, wind of the south;
Make my ^(AP)garden breathe out fragrance,
Let its ⁽ⁿ⁾spices ^(o)be wafted abroad.
May ^(AQ)my beloved come into his garden
And eat its ^(AR)choice fruits!”
