Song of Solomon 4:8-11
New Living Translation
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
come with me from Lebanon.
Come down[a] from Mount Amana,
from the peaks of Senir and Hermon,
where the lions have their dens
and leopards live among the hills.
9 You have captured my heart,
my treasure,[b] my bride.
You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes,
with a single jewel of your necklace.
10 Your love delights me,
my treasure, my bride.
Your love is better than wine,
your perfume more fragrant than spices.
11 Your lips are as sweet as nectar, my bride.
Honey and milk are under your tongue.
Your clothes are scented
like the cedars of Lebanon.
Song of Songs 4:8-11
Christian Standard Bible
8 Come with me from Lebanon,[a](A) my bride;(B)
come 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,(E) my bride.
You have captured my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful your caresses are, my sister, my bride.
Your caresses are 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.
