Song of Songs 4:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Come with me from (A)Lebanon, my (B)bride,
May you come with me from Lebanon.
[a]Journey down from the top of (C)Amana,
From the top of (D)Senir and Hermon,
From the dens of lions,
From the mountains of leopards.
9 You have made my heart beat faster, (E)my sister, my bride;
You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes,
With a single strand of your (F)necklace.
10 (G)How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much (H)better is your love than wine,
And the (I)fragrance of your oils
Than all kinds of [b]spices!
11 Your lips, my bride, (J)drip (K)honey from the comb;
Honey and milk are under your tongue,
And the fragrance of your garments is like the (L)fragrance of Lebanon.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 Come with me from Lebanon,[a](A) my bride(B)—
with me from Lebanon!
Descend from the peak of Amana,
from the summit of Senir and Hermon,(C)
from the dens of the lions,
from the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have captured my heart,(D) my sister,[b](E) my bride.
You have captured my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful your love is, my sister, my bride.
Your love is much better than wine,(F)
and the fragrance of your perfume than any balsam.
11 Your lips drip sweetness like the honeycomb, my bride.(G)
Honey and milk(H) are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
