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 Solomon 4:10). Here first the daughters call Him theirs, and become one with the bride. The steps successively are (Song of Solomon 1:5) where they misjudge her (Song of Solomon 3:11); Song of Solomon 5:8, where the possibility of their finding Him, before she regained Him, is expressed; Song of Solomon 5:9 (Song of Solomon 6:1; Song of Solomon 7:6, Song of Solomon 7:9; John 4:42).
causing . . . asleep to speak-- (Isaiah 35:6; Mark 5:19-20; 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 7:9-10, Romans 7:24-25; Romans 8:1).
