Song of Solomon 4

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 See, you are fair, my love, you are fair; you have the eyes of a dove; your hair is as a flock of goats, which take their rest on the side of Gilead.

2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep whose wool is newly cut, which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

3 Your red lips are like a bright thread, and your mouth is fair of form; the sides of your head are like pomegranate fruit under your veil.

4 Your neck is like the tower of David made for a store-house of arms, in which a thousand breastplates are hanging, breastplates for fighting-men.

5 Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth, which take their food among the lilies.

6 Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

7 You are all fair, my love; there is no mark on you.

8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon; see from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the places of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.

9 You have taken away my heart, my sister, my bride; you have taken away my heart, with one look you have taken it, with one chain of your neck!

10 How fair is your love, my sister! How much better is your love than wine, and the smell of your oils than any perfume!

11 Your lips are dropping honey; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your clothing is like the smell of Lebanon.

12 A garden walled-in is my sister, my bride; a garden shut up, a spring of water stopped.

13 The produce of the garden is pomegranates; with all the best fruits, henna and spikenard,

14 Spikenard and safron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.

15 You are a fountain of gardens, a spring of living waters, and flowing waters from Lebanon.

16 Be awake, O north wind; and come, O south, blowing on my garden, so that its spices may come out. Let my loved one come into his garden, and take of his good fruits.

Good News Translation GNT

1 How beautiful you are, my love! How your eyes shine with love behind your veil. Your hair dances like a flock of goats bounding down the hills of Gilead.

2 Your teeth are as white as sheep that have just been shorn and washed. Not one of them is missing; they are all perfectly matched.

3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; how lovely they are when you speak. Your cheeks glow behind your veil.

4 Your neck is like the tower of David, round and smooth, with a necklace like a thousand shields hung around it.

5 Your breasts are like gazelles, twin deer feeding among lilies.

6 I will stay on the hill of myrrh, the hill of incense, until the morning breezes blow and the darkness disappears.

7 How beautiful you are, my love; how perfect you are!

8 Come with me from the Lebanon Mountains, my bride; come with me from Lebanon. Come down from the top of Mount Amana, from Mount Senir and Mount Hermon, where the lions and leopards live.

9 The look in your eyes, my sweetheart and bride, and the necklace you are wearing have stolen my heart.

10 Your love delights me, my sweetheart and bride. Your love is better than wine; your perfume more fragrant than any spice.

11 The taste of honey is on your lips, my darling; your tongue is milk and honey for me. Your clothing has all the fragrance of Lebanon.

12 My sweetheart, my bride, is a secret garden, a walled garden, a private spring;

13 there the plants flourish. They grow like an orchard of pomegranate trees and bear the finest fruits. There is no lack of henna and nard,

14 of saffron, calamus, and cinnamon, or incense of every kind. Myrrh and aloes grow there with all the most fragrant perfumes.

15 Fountains water the garden, streams of flowing water, brooks gushing down from the Lebanon Mountains.

16 Wake up, North Wind. South Wind, blow on my garden; fill the air with fragrance. Let my lover come to his garden and eat the best of its fruits.
