Song of Songs 4:8-15
New International Version
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(A)
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir,(B) the summit of Hermon,(C)
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;(D)
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.(E)
10 How delightful(F) is your love(G), my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,(H)
and the fragrance of your perfume(I)
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.(J)
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.(K)
12 You are a garden(L) locked up, my sister, my bride;(M)
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(N)
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates(O)
with choice fruits,
with henna(P) and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,(Q)
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh(R) and aloes(S)
and all the finest spices.(T)
15 You are[a] a garden(U) fountain,(V)
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.

Song of Solomon 4:8-15
King James Version
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse,
With me from Lebanon.
Look from the top of Amana,
From the top of Senir (A)and Hermon,
From the lions’ dens,
From the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have ravished my heart,
My sister, my spouse;
You have ravished my heart
With one look of your eyes,
With one link of your necklace.
10 How fair is your love,
My sister, my spouse!
(B)How much better than wine is your love,
And the [a]scent of your perfumes
Than all spices!
11 Your lips, O my spouse,
Drip as the honeycomb;
(C)Honey and milk are under your tongue;
And the fragrance of your garments
Is (D)like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 A garden [b]enclosed
Is my sister, my spouse,
A spring shut up,
A fountain sealed.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
With pleasant fruits,
Fragrant henna with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron,
Calamus and cinnamon,
With all trees of frankincense,
Myrrh and aloes,
With all the chief spices—
15 A fountain of gardens,
A well of (E)living waters,
And streams from Lebanon.
