New International Reader's Version

Song Of Solomon 4:4-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. Your neck is strong and beautiful like the tower of David. That tower is built with beautiful stones. A thousand shields are hanging on it. All of them belong to mighty soldiers.

5. Your two breasts are lovely. They are like two young antelopes that eat among the lilies.

6. I will go to the mountain of myrrh. I'll go to the hill of incense. I'll stay there until the day begins and the shadows fade away.

7. Every part of you is so beautiful, my love. There is no flaw in you.

8. "Come with me from Lebanon, my bride. Come with me from Lebanon. Come down from the top of Mount Amana. Come down from the top of Senir. Come to me from the peak of Mount Hermon. Leave the dens where the lions live. Leave the places in the mountains where the leopards stay.

9. My bride, you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes. My sister, you have stolen my heart with one jewel in your necklace.

10. My bride, your love is so delightful. My sister, your love makes me happier than wine does. Your perfume smells better than any spice.

11. Your lips are as sweet as a honeycomb, my bride. Milk and honey are under your tongue. Your clothes smell like the cedar trees in Lebanon.
