Song of Songs 7:9
_ _ roof of thy mouth — thy voice (Proverbs 15:23).
_ _ best wine — the new wine of the gospel kingdom (Mark 14:25), poured out at Pentecost (Acts 2:4, Acts 2:13, Acts 2:17).
_ _ for my beloved — (Song of Songs 4:10). Here first the daughters call Him theirs, and become one with the bride. The steps successively are (Song of Songs 1:5) where they misjudge her (Song of Songs 3:11); Song of Songs 5:8, where the possibility of their finding Him, before she regained Him, is expressed; Song of Songs 5:9 (Song of Songs 6:1; Song of Songs 7:6, Song of Songs 7:9; John 4:42).
_ _ causing ... asleep to speak — (Isaiah 35:6; Mark 5:19, Mark 5:20; Acts 2:47; Ephesians 5:14). Jesus Christ’s first miracle turned water into “good wine kept until now” (John 2:10); just as the Gospel revives those asleep and dying under the law (Proverbs 31:6; Romans 7:9, Romans 7:10, Romans 7:24, Romans 7:25; Romans 8:1). |
Song of Songs 7:9
Thy mouth — Thy speech, the palate being one of the principal instruments of speech. Wine — Grateful and refreshing for thee my beloved, who reapest the comfort and benefit of that pleasure which I take in thee. Causing — The most dull, and stupid, and sleepy persons to speak. |

Colossians 4:6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
