Song of Songs 4:9-12

New International Version

⁹You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;^(A)
    you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
    with one jewel of your necklace.^(B)
¹⁰How delightful^(C) is your love^(D), my sister, my bride!
    How much more pleasing is your love than wine,^(E)
and the fragrance of your perfume^(F)
    more than any spice!
¹¹Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
    milk and honey are under your tongue.^(G)
The fragrance of your garments
    is like the fragrance of Lebanon.^(H)
¹²You are a garden^(I) locked up, my sister, my bride;^(J)
    you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.^(K)

New International Version

He

5 I have come into my garden,^(A) my sister, my bride;^(B)
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.^(C)

Friends

Eat, friends, and drink;
drink your fill of love.

She

²I slept but my heart was awake.
    Listen! My beloved is knocking:
“Open to me, my sister, my darling,
    my dove,^(D) my flawless^(E) one.^(F)
My head is drenched with dew,
    my hair with the dampness of the night.”
