Song of Songs 4:11
_ _ drop — always ready to fall, being full of honey, though not always (Proverbs 10:19) actually dropping (Song of Songs 5:13; Deuteronomy 32:2; Matthew 12:34).
_ _ honeycomb — (Proverbs 5:3; Proverbs 16:24).
_ _ under thy tongue — not always on, but under, the tongue, ready to fall (Psalms 55:21). Contrast her former state (Psalms 140:3; Romans 3:13). “Honey and milk” were the glory of the good land.

Contrast Matthew 27:44 with Luke 23:39, etc. It was literally with “one” eye, a sidelong glance of love “better than wine,” that he refreshed Jesus Christ (Song of Songs 4:9, Song of Songs 4:10). “To-day shalt thou be with Me (compare Song of Songs 4:8) in Paradise” (Song of Songs 4:12), is the only joyous sentence of His seven utterances on the cross.
_ _ smell of ... garments — which are often perfumed in the East (Psalms 45:8). The perfume comes from Him on us (Psalms 133:2). We draw nigh to God in the perfumed garment of our elder brother (Genesis 27:27; see Jude 1:23).
_ _ Lebanon — abounding in odoriferous trees (Hosea 14:5-7). |
Song of Songs 4:11
Thy lips — Thy speeches both to me in prayer and praises, and to men for their edification, are highly acceptable to me. Milk — Words more sweet and comfortable than honey or milk. Garments — Of that righteousness wherewith I have adorned thee. Lebanon — Which was very sweet and grateful in regard of the great numbers of sweet — smelling spices and trees which grow on that mountain. |
