Song of Solomon 4:1-6

Solomon Admires His Bride’s Beauty

He

1 Behold, ^ayou are beautiful, my love,
behold, you are beautiful!
^bYour eyes are doves
^cbehind your veil.
^dYour hair is like a flock of goats
leaping down ^ethe slopes of Gilead.
2 Your ^fteeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
that have come up from the washing,
all of which bear twins,
and not one among them has lost its young.
3 Your lips are like ^ga scarlet thread,
and your mouth is ^hlovely.
Your ⁱcheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
^jbehind your veil.
4 Your ^kneck is like the tower of David,
built in ^lrows of stone; ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain}
on it ⁿhang a thousand shields,
all of ^othem shields of warriors.
5 Your ^ptwo breasts are like two ^qfawns,
twins of a gazelle,
that ^rgraze among the lilies.
6 ^sUntil the day breathes
and the shadows flee,
I will go away to the mountain of ^tmyrrh
and the hill of ^ufrankincense.
