Song of Solomon 4:12

A closed garden is my sister, my bride,
a closed spring, a sealed fountain.
[The entire verse is a poetic description of an untouched virgin. This is exactly how Jesus sees us when we have left our self-righteousness behind and accepted that we are justified through Jesus. Then we are as pure and untouched as a virgin.]
