and the fragrance of your perfume than any balsam.

You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride;

you have captivated my heart with one 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 any spice!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;

you have stolen my heart

with one glance of your eyes,

with one jewel of your necklace.

How much more pleasing is your love than wine,

and the fragrance of your perfume

more than any spice!

NLTNew Living Translation

You have captured my heart,

my treasure, my bride.

You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes,

with a single jewel of your necklace.

Your love delights me,

my treasure, my bride.

Your love is better than wine,

your perfume more fragrant than spices.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

You have stolen (my) heart, my sister bride!

You have stolen my heart with one glance from your eyes,

with one ornament from your necklaces.

How beautiful is your love, my sister bride!

How better is your love than wine,

and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

KJV 1900King James Version

Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse;

Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes,

With one chain of thy neck.

How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse!

How much better is thy love than wine!

And the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
