Song of Solomon 4:15 expands the garden imagery to a flowing fountain, complementing the sealed fountain of verse 12.

In Song 6:2, the beloved goes into 'his garden' — Song 4:12 calls the lover an enclosed garden, continuing the same metaphor.

In Song 6:11, the speaker visits a 'garden of nuts' — Song 4:12's garden imagery is extended to another garden scene.

In Proverbs 5:15, one is urged to 'drink waters from your own cistern' — Song 4:12's 'spring shut up, fountain sealed' similarly symbolizes marital exclusivity.

Isaiah 58:11 uses garden and spring imagery for God's blessing, contrasting the sealed garden of Song with a watered, abundant one.
