Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 4:1 | Behold, you are beautiful, My love. Behold, you are beautiful; your eyes are as doves' from behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats which lie down from Mount Gilead. |
| 4:2 | Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep which come up from the washing place; of which they all are bearing twins; and barrenness is not among them. |
| 4:3 | Your lips are like a cord of scarlet, and your speech is becoming; your temples are like a piece of pomegranate behind your veil. |
| 4:4 | Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an armory; a thousand bucklers hang on it, all the shields of the mighty men. |
| 4:5 | Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, feeding among the lilies. |
| 4:6 | Until when the day blows, and the shadows flee away, I myself will go to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hills of frankincense. |
| 4:7 | You are all beautiful, My love. There is no blemish on you. |
| 4:8 | Come with Me from Lebanon, My spouse; with Me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. |
| 4:9 | You have ravished My heart, My sister, My spouse; you have ravished My heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck. |
| 4:10 | How beautiful are your loves, My sister, My spouse! How much better are your loves than wine, and the scent of your ointments than all spices! |
| 4:11 | Your lips, My spouse, drip like the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue. And the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon. |
| 4:12 | A locked garden is My sister, My spouse; a rock heap locked up, a sealed fountain. |
| 4:13 | Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with excellent fruits, with henna and spikenard; |
| 4:14 | spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon; with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes; with all the chief balsam spices; |
| 4:15 | a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters; even flowings from Lebanon. |
| 4:16 | Awake, north wind ; yea, come, south wind ; blow on my garden; let its spices flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden and eat its excellent fruits. |
