Song of Solomon 4:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
12 My darling, my bride,
you are pure like a locked garden.
You are like a locked pool,
a closed fountain.
13 Your limbs are like a garden
filled with pomegranates and other pleasant fruit,
with all the best spices:
henna,[a]
14 nard, saffron,[b] calamus,[c] and cinnamon.[d]
Your limbs are like a garden
filled with trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloe.
