Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1
New American Standard Bible 1995
12 “A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
A [a]rock garden locked, a (A)spring (B)sealed up.
13 “Your shoots are an [b](C)orchard of (D)pomegranates
With (E)choice fruits, (F)henna with nard plants,
14 (G)Nard and saffron, calamus and (H)cinnamon,
With all the trees of (I)frankincense,
(J)Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest [c]spices.
15 “You are a garden spring,
A well of [d](K)fresh water,
And streams flowing from Lebanon.”
16 “[e]Awake, O north wind,
And come, wind of the south;
Make my (L)garden breathe out fragrance,
Let its [f]spices [g]be wafted abroad.
May (M)my beloved come into his garden
And eat its (N)choice fruits!”
The Torment of Separation
5 “[h]I have (O)come into my garden, (P)my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my (Q)myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb [i]and my (R)honey;
I have (S)drunk my wine [j]and my milk.
Eat, (T)friends;
Drink and [k]imbibe deeply, O lovers.”
