Song 4:15      Song 5:1

Song of Solomon 4:16

Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind,
blow upon my garden
so that its spices (the fragrance of the spices) may fly (flow, drip) out. Let my beloved (darling) come to his garden
and eat its choice fruits.
[The north wind in the Bible represents judgment and misfortune and brings cold weather. The south wind brings warmth. No other direction has as many different words as south. Here, the Hebrew word tejman is used, which literally means "right side" and in this case symbolizes what is right and true, what is on the right side. Since the bride wishes for both the north and south winds to come, it can be interpreted as her asking that both adversity and prosperity in life will cause the fragrance of the garden to spread. This is in accordance with the teachings of Jesus and Paul that we should always be the fragrance of the Messiah regardless of circumstances, see John 12:1–3; 2 Cor. 2:14–16.]
