Song of Solomon 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. 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.
The book containing this verse is one of Solomon's one thousand and five songs or poems. It is an Oriental love poem written in vivid, warm, figurative language of the East. It unfolds as a dialogue involving various parties. Its imagery belongs to the time in which it was written and is not to be judged by present-day objections.
The experiences of Solomon set forth in it may serve as types of Christ and the church. It is a poetical picture or parable of Christ and His church. It shows His wonderful love for her and her love in response, though her faithfulness and constancy are often lacking. It is to be read alone with God while keeping its picture of Christ and His church in mind.
