Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² My bride, my sister is a garden that is locked,
a garden that is locked,
a spring that is sealed.
¹³ You are paradise that produces
pomegranates and the best fruits,
henna flowers and nard,
¹⁴ nard and saffron,
calamus,^[a] cinnamon, and all kinds of incense,^[b]
myrrh, aloes, and all the best spices.
¹⁵ ⌞You are⌟ a spring for gardens,
a well of living water flowing from Lebanon.

¹⁶ Awake, north wind!
Come, south wind!
Blow on my garden!
Let its spices flow from it.
Let my beloved come to his garden,
and let him eat his own precious fruit.

5 My bride, my sister, I will come to my garden.
I will gather my myrrh with my spice.
I will eat my honeycomb with my honey.
I will drink my wine with my milk.
Eat, my friends!
Drink and become intoxicated with expressions of love!
