Song of Solomon 4:8-11

Expanded Bible

⁸ Come with me from Lebanon, my bride.
    Come with me from Lebanon,
from the top of Mount Amana,
    from the tops of Mount Senir and Mount Hermon.
Come from the lions’ dens
    and from the leopards’ hills [^Capart from him she is in a dangerous place].
⁹ My sister [^Can ancient term of endearment], my bride,
    you ·have thrilled my heart [drive me crazy];
you ·have thrilled my heart [drive me crazy]
    with ·a [^Lone] glance of your eyes,
    with one ·sparkle [^Ljewel] from your necklace.
¹⁰ ·Your love is so sweet [^LHow beautiful is your love], my sister [4:9], my bride.
    Your love is better than wine [^Cmakes one lightheaded],
    and ·your perfume [^Lthe scent of your oils] smells better than any spice.
¹¹ My bride, your lips drip honey;
    honey and milk are under your tongue [^Csensuous liquids that he will explore].
    Your clothes smell like the cedars of Lebanon [^Cthe best cedars].
