SongofSolomon - Chapter 4 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Behold, thou {cf15I art} fair, my love; behold, thou {cf15I art} fair; thou {cf15I hast} doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair {cf15I is} as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
  • 2. Thy teeth {cf15I are} like a flock {cf15I of sheep that are even} shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none {cf15I is} barren among them.
  • 3. Thy lips {cf15I are} like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech {cf15I is} comely: thy temples {cf15I are} like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
  • 4. Thy neck {cf15I is} like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
  • 5. Thy two breasts {cf15I are} like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
  • 6. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
  • 7. Thou {cf15I art} all fair, my love; {cf15I there is} no spot in thee.
  • 8. Come with me from Lebanon, {cf15I 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, {cf15I 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, {cf15I my} spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
  • 11. Thy lips, O {cf15I my} spouse, drop {cf15I as} the honeycomb: honey and milk {cf15I are} under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments {cf15I is} like the smell of Lebanon.
  • 12. A garden inclosed {cf15I is} my sister, {cf15I my} spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
  • 13. Thy plants {cf15I 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.
  • 16. Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, {cf15I that} the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
