Cantares de Salomâo 4:11-16

11 Os teus lábios destilam o mel, noiva minha; mel e leite estão debaixo da tua língua, e o cheiro dos teus vestidos é como o cheiro do Líbano.

12 Jardim fechado é minha irmã, minha noiva, sim, jardim fechado, fonte selada.

13 Os teus renovos são um pomar de romãs, com frutos excelentes; a hena juntamente com nardo,

14 o nardo, e o açafrão, o cálamo, e o cinamomo, com toda sorte de árvores de incenso; a mirra e o aloés, com todas as principais especiarias.

15 És fonte de jardim, poço de águas vivas, correntes que manam do Líbano!

16 Levanta-te, vento norte, e vem tu, vento sul; assopra no meu jardim, espalha os seus aromas. Entre o meu amado no seu jardim, e coma os seus frutos excelentes!

Cantares de Salomâo 4:11-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 4

In this chapter is contained a large commendation of the church's beauty by Christ; first, more particularly, by an enumeration of several parts, as her eyes, hair, teeth, lips, temples, neck, and breasts, So 4:1-5; and more generally, So 4:7; And having observed where he himself was determined to go, he invites her to go with him; which he enforces, partly from the danger she was exposed unto where she was So 4:6,8; and partly from the comeliness of her person and graces in his esteem; with which he was ravished, and therefore was extremely desirous of her company, So 4:9-11; And then enters into some new descriptions of her; as a garden and orchard, as a spring and fountain, So 4:12-14; all which she makes to be owing to him, So 4:15; And the chapter is closed with an order from Christ to the winds to blow on his garden, and cause the spices of it to flow out; and with an invitation of the church to Christ, to come into his garden, and relax there, So 4:16.
