The Song of Solomon 6
- 1Where is your beloved gone, O you fairest among women? Where is your beloved turned aside? That we may seek him with you.
- 2My beloved has gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
- 3I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine. He feeds among the lilies.
- 4You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, beautiful as Jerusalem, awe-inspiring as an army with banners.
- 5Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me: your hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
- 6Your teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, of which every one bears twins, and there is not one barren among them.
- 7As a piece of a pomegranate are your temples within your locks.
- 8There are sixty queens, and eighty secondary wives, and virgins without number.
- 9My dove, my undefiled is but one. She is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her. Yes, the queens and the secondary wives, and they praised her.
- 10Who is she who looks out as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and awe-inspiring as an army with banners?
- 11I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.
- 12Before I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.
- 13Return, return, O Shulamite. Return, return, that we may look at you. What will you see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
