Song of Solomon 4:11


Song of Solomon 4:10 Song of Solomon 4:11 (KJV) Song of Solomon 4:12
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!
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.
A garden inclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
