Song of Solomon 6

CHAPTER 6 Each Seeking the Beloved

1 Where did [²go forth ¹your beloved man], O fair one among women? Where did [²look away ¹your beloved man]? for we will seek him with you. 2 My beloved man went down to his garden, to bowls of the aromatics, to tend in gardens, and to collect lilies. 3 I am to my beloved man, and my beloved man to me -- the one tending among the lilies. 4 You are fair, O dear one, as good-pleasure; beautiful as Jerusalem; a consternation as ones arranged for battle. 5 Turn away your eyes from before me! for they incited me. The hair of your head is as the herds of the goats which ascended from Gilead. 6 Your teeth as herds of the ones being sheared, the ones which ascend from the bath, all bearing twins, and [²one being childless ¹there is not] among them. [²are as ⁴string ³a scarlet ¹Your lips], and your speech is beautiful. 7 [²are as ³the rind ⁴of the ⁵pomegranate ¹Your cheeks] being seen outside your veil. 8 [²sixty ¹There are] queens, and eighty concubines, and young women which there is no number. 9 [²is one ¹My dove], my perfect one. She is the only one to her mother; the choice one is to the one giving birth to her. [²beheld ³her ¹The daughters], and [²will declare her blessed ¹queens], and indeed the concubines also shall praise her. 10 Who is she, the one looking out as the dawn, fair as the moon, choice as the sun, the consternation as troops being set in order. 11 Into the garden of walnuts I went down to behold among the produce of the valley of the rushing stream; to see if [³bloomed ¹the ²grapevine], [³blossomed ¹or if the ²pomegranates]. 12 [²did not ³know ¹My soul], it made me as the chariots of Aminadab. 13 Return! return! O Shulamite. Return! return! and we will look to you.
