Song of Solomon Chapter 6 Back Next{6:1} Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you? Beloved
{6:2} My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the
gardens, and to gather lilies.
{6:3} I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine. He browses among the lilies,
{6:4} You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as
Jerusalem, awesome as an
army with banners.
{6:5} Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your
hair is like a flock of
goats, that lie along the side of Gilead.
{6:6} Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing; of which every one has twins; none is bereaved among them.
{6:7} Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
{6:8} There are sixty queens, eighty
concubines, and virgins without number.
{6:9} My
dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother's only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her
blessed; the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
{6:10} Who is she who looks forth as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?
{6:11} I went down into the nut tree
grove, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were in flower.
{6:12} Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal people's
chariots. Friends
{6:13} Return, return, Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze at you. Lover Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite, as at the
dance of
Mahanaim?
