11雅歌四章十一节说，“我新妇，你的嘴唇滴下新蜜；你的舌下有蜜有奶；你衣服的香气如同利巴嫩的香气。”……一切人世的、天然的香品，没有一样是赶得上女子身上膏油的香气的。这就自然能够叫她嘴唇能以滴蜜。蜜，是甜美的，是叫衰颓的人能够得着苏醒的。但是这一种甘甜，并非在短时间内就可以产生的。乃是经过长时期的采集，经过里面的运动，并且谨慎地收藏，才有的。这是一个常在神面前受教的人所独有的。所以，从这女子口中所发出来的，并非闲话、笑话、冒失的话，乃是甘甜、使人苏醒的话。她的话语，并非像山洪暴发的往外倾泻，乃是一滴一滴的像蜂房的滴蜜。这是一种最慢的滴。有的人，他们必须说话，他们说话像溪水奔流一样。就是他们所说的是关系属灵的事，但他们那一种说法就已经够显明，他们是没有经过恩典更深的工作的。这里不只注意到她的嘴唇如何慢慢地滴出甘甜的蜜来，这里也注意到她里面所收藏的是什么，所以说，“你的舌下有蜜有奶。”舌上，是人咽食物的地方；舌下，是人藏食物的地方。意即她里面收藏了这些东西，里面是丰丰富富地有这些东西。这可见她自己的粮食是有余的。蜜是为着复兴软弱的人，奶是为着喂养幼稚的人。她里面所蕴藏的是这样的丰富，好像食物在舌下，可以随时分给需要的人。但是，她并不倾吐她所有的一切，像有的人里面有多少，外面也拿出多少一样。蜜和奶还是在她的舌下，不都是在她的唇边（倪柝声文集第二辑第三册，八三至八四页）。
11Song of Songs 4:11 says, “Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.” (Smell in this verse is different from the word fragrance in the previous verse.) No human or natural smell can be compared to the fragrance that emanates from the maiden. This naturally makes her lips drop as the honeycomb. Honey is sweet, and it restores the stricken ones. But this sweetness is not produced overnight. It comes from a long period of gathering, inward activity, and careful storage. This is the unique possession of one who is taught by God. From the mouth of the maiden issue forth sweet and refreshing words, not gossip, jokes, or rash words. Her words are not outbursts of torrents, but drops of honey from the honeycomb. This is the slowest kind of dripping. Some people have the urge to speak; their words are like the babbling of brooks. Even when they speak about spiritual things, the way they speak shows that they have not passed through the deeper work of grace. In this verse we can notice not only her lips slowly dropping sweet honey, but the things that are stored within her. “Honey and milk are under thy tongue.” The top of the tongue is where man takes in food, whereas under the tongue is where man stores food. This means that she has stored up these things; there are riches within her. She has more than enough food. Honey restores the weak ones, whereas milk feeds the immature ones. She has stored so many riches within her that food seems to be under her tongue, and she can dispense to the needy ones at any time. However, she does not reveal all that she has. She is not like many people who exhibit on the outside all that they have inside. Honey and milk are under her tongue; they are not on her lips. (CWWN, vol. 23, “The Song of Songs,” pp. 71-72)
