Song 4:10-5:1, 7:9, 12 | ESV | STEP | How beautiful is your love , my sister , my bride ! How much better is your love than wine , and the fragrance of your oils than any spice !

10 How beautiful is your love, my ^asister, my bride!
How much ^bbetter is your love than wine,
and ^cthe fragrance of your oils than any spice!
11 Your ^dlips drip nectar, my bride;
^ehoney and milk are under your tongue;
the fragrance of your garments is ^flike the fragrance of ^gLebanon.
12 A garden locked is my ^hsister, my bride,
a spring locked, ⁱa fountain ^jsealed.
13 Your shoots are ^kan orchard of pomegranates
with all ^lchoicest fruits,
^mhenna with ⁿnard,
14 nard and saffron, ^ocalamus and ^pcinnamon,
with all trees of ^qfrankincense,
^rmyrrh and ^saloes,
with all ^tchoice spices—
15 a garden fountain, a well of ^uliving water,
and flowing streams from ^vLebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind,
and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my ^wgarden,
let its spices flow.

Together in the Garden of Love

She

^xLet my beloved come to his ^ygarden,
and eat its ^zchoicest fruits.

Song of Solomon 5:1

He

1 I ^aacame to my garden, my ^absister, my bride,
I gathered my ^acmyrrh with my spice,
I ate my ^adhoneycomb with my honey,
I ^aedrank my wine with my milk.

Others

Eat, ^affriends, drink,
and be drunk with love!

Song of Solomon 7:9

9 and your ^agmouth ^{▼▼Hebrew palate} like the best wine.

She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth. ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew causing the lips of sleepers to speak}

Song of Solomon 7:12

12 let us go out early to the vineyards
^ajand see whether the vines have budded,
whether ^akthe grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
