MY SISTER, MY BRIDE

“You have ravished my heart and given me courage, my sister, my bride;
You have ravished my heart and given me courage with a single glance of your eyes,
With one jewel of your necklace.
“How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!

How much better is your love than wine,
And the fragrance of your oils
Than all kinds of balsam and spices.
“Your lips, my bride, drip honey [as the honeycomb].

Honey and milk are under your tongue,
And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

“A garden enclosed is my sister, my bride—
A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up.”

(Song of Solomon chapter 4)

“The Queen of the South (Sheba) will stand up [as a witness] at the judgment against this generation, and will condemn it because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the Wisdom of Solomon; and now, something greater than Solomon is here.” Jesus
