Song of Solomon 6:4-13

Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other

He

4 You are beautiful as ^aTirzah, ^bmy love,
^clovely as ^dJerusalem,
^eawesome as an army with banners.
5 Turn away your eyes from me,
for they overwhelm me—
^fYour hair is like a flock of goats
leaping down the slopes of Gilead.
6 ^gYour teeth are like a flock of ewes
that have come up from the washing;
all of them bear twins;
not one among them has lost its young.
7 ^hYour cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil.
8 There are ⁱsixty ^jqueens and eighty ^kconcubines,
and ^lvirgins without number.
9 My ^mdove, my ⁿperfect one, is the only one,
the only one of her mother,
pure to ^oher who bore her.
^pThe young women saw her and called her blessed;
^qthe queens and ^rconcubines also, and they praised her.
10 ^s“Who is this who looks down like the dawn,
beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun,
^tawesome as an army with banners?”

She

11 I went down to the nut orchard
to look at ^uthe blossoms of the valley,
^vto see whether the vines had budded,
whether the pomegranates were in bloom.
12 ^wBefore I was aware, my desire set me
among ^xthe chariots of my kinsman, a prince. ^{▼▼Or chariots of Ammi-Nadib}

13 ^{▼▼Ch 7:1 in Hebrew} Return, return, O ^aaShulammite,
return, return, that we may look upon you.

He

Why should you look upon ^abthe Shulammite,
as upon ^aca dance before ^adtwo armies? ^{▼▼Or dance of Mahanaim}
