Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1
Lexham English Bible
The Locked Garden of Delights Is Unlocked
12 A garden locked is my sister bride,
a spring enclosed,[a] a fountain sealed.
13 Your shoots[b] are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruit,[c]
henna with nard;
14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon spice with all trees of frankincense,
myrrh and aloes with all chief spices.
15 A garden fountain, a well of living water,
flowing (streams) from Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind! Come, O south wind!
Blow upon my garden! Let its fragrances[d] waft forth![e]
Let my beloved come to his garden,
let him eat his choice fruit!
5 I have come to my garden, my sister bride,
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice,
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey,
I have drunk my wine with my milk!
Eat, O friends! Drink and become drunk with love![f]
