Song of Songs 4:12-Song of Songs 5:1 - The Locked Garden Of Delights Is Unlocked

¹²
“A garden enclosed is my sister, my [promised] bride—
A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up.
¹³
“Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates,
[A paradise] with precious fruits, henna with fragrant plants,
¹⁴
Fragrant plants and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
With all trees of frankincense,
Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest spices.
¹⁵
“You are a fountain in a garden,
A well of fresh and living water,
And streams flowing from Lebanon.”

¹⁶ (The Shulammite Bride)
“Awake, O north wind,
And come, south wind [blow softly upon my garden];
Make my garden breathe out fragrance, [for the one in whom my soul delights],
Let its spices flow forth.
Let my beloved come into his garden
And eat its choicest fruits.” Cross references: Song of Solomon 4:7 : John 14:18; Eph 5:27 Song of Solomon 4:8 : 2 Cor 11:2, 3 Song of Solomon 4:10 : John 15:9; Rom 8:35 Song of Solomon 4:13 : John 15:5; Eph 5:9 Song of Solomon 4:15 : John 4:10; 7:37, 38 end of crossrefs

¹ (The Bridegroom)“I have come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride;
I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam and spice [from your sweet words].
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, friends;
Drink and drink deeply, O lovers.”
