Song of Songs 4:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 With me from Lebanon, my bride!
With me from Lebanon, come!
Descend from the peak of Amana,
from the peak of Senir and Hermon,[a]
From the lairs of lions,
from the leopards’ heights.
9 (A)You have ravished my heart, my sister,[b] my bride;
you have ravished my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one bead of your necklace.
10 (B)How beautiful is your love,
my sister, my bride,
How much better is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfumes than any spice!
