8Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,

come with me from Lebanon.

Come down*4:8 Or Look down. from Mount Amana,

from the peaks of Senir and Hermon,

where the lions have their dens

and leopards live among the hills.

9You have captured my heart,

my treasure,*4:9 Hebrew my sister; also in 4:10, 12. my bride.

You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes,

with a single jewel of your necklace.

10Your love delights me,

my treasure, my bride.

Your love is better than wine,

your perfume more fragrant than spices.

11Your lips are as sweet as nectar, my bride.

Honey and milk are under your tongue.

Your clothes are scented

like the cedars of Lebanon.

12You are my private garden, my treasure, my bride,

a secluded spring, a hidden fountain.
