Song of Solomon 4:10

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!

Love - Hebrew, loves; manifold tokens of thy love.

Much better - answering to her "better than wine" (), but with increased force. An Amoebean pastoral character pervades the Song, like the classic Amoebean idylls and eclogues.

Wine - the love of His saints is a more reviving cordial to Him than wine; e.g., at the feast in Simon's house.

Smell of ... ointments than all spices - answering to her praise (), with increased force. Fragrant, as being fruits of His Spirit in us ().
