Song of Solomon 4:12 in Context — Song of Solomon 4

10 ¡Cuán hermosos son tus amores, hermana, esposa [mía]! ¡cuánto mejores que el vino tus amores, y el olor de tus ungüentos que todas las especias aromáticas!

11 [Como] panal de miel destilan tus labios, oh esposa; miel y leche hay debajo de tu lengua; y el olor de tus vestidos como el olor del Líbano.

12 Huerto cerrado [eres], mi hermana, esposa [mía]; fuente cerrada, fuente sellada.

13 Tus renuevos paraíso de granados, con frutos suaves, de cámphoras y nardos,

14 Nardo y azafrán, caña aromática y canela, con todos los árboles de incienso; mirra y áloes, con todas las principales especias.
