Song of Songs 4:12-5:1
Legacy Standard Bible
12 A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
A [a]rock garden locked, a (A)spring (B)sealed up.
13 Your shoots are [b]an (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 flow forth.
May (M)my beloved come into his garden
And eat its (N)choice fruits!”
The Bride Searches for Her Beloved
5 “[g]I have (O)come into my garden, (P)my sister, my bride;
I have picked my (Q)myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my (R)honey;
I have (S)drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, (T)friends;
Drink and [h]imbibe deeply, O lovers.”
