12 A garden [a]enclosed
Is my sister, my spouse,
A spring shut up,
A fountain sealed.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
With pleasant fruits,
Fragrant henna 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 (A)living waters,
And streams from Lebanon.

The Shulamite

16 Awake, O north wind,
And come, O south!
Blow upon my garden,
That its spices may flow out.
(B)Let my beloved come to his garden
And eat its pleasant (C)fruits.

The Bride Praises the Bridegroom

The Beloved

I (D)have come to my garden, my (E)sister, my spouse;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
(F)I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.

(To His Friends)

Eat, O (G)friends!
Drink, yes, drink deeply,
O beloved ones!
