LITV - Song of Solomon - 6

6:1  Where has your Beloved gone, most beautiful among women? Where has your Beloved turned? For we seek Him along with you.

6:2  My Beloved has gone down to His garden, to the terraces of spices, to feed in the gardens and to gather lilies.

6:3  I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine. He feeds among the lilies.

6:4  O My love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as bannered armies.

6:5  Turn away your eyes from Me, because they have overcome Me. Your hair is like a flock of goats that lie down from Gilead.

6:6  Your teeth are like a flock of ewes which come up from the washing place, of which they all are bearing twins, and barrenness is not among them.

6:7  Your temples behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate.

6:8  Sixty of them are queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

6:9  But My dove, My perfect one is one alone . She is the only one to her mother; she is the choice of the one who bore her. The daughters saw her and called her blessed; the queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised her.

6:10  Who is she who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, awesome as bannered armies ?

6:11  I went down to the garden of nut trees, to see the greenery of the ravine, to see whether the vine flowered and the pomegranates budded.

6:12  I did not know, but my soul set me on the chariots of My princely people.

6:13  Return, return, O Shulamite! Return, return, that we may gaze upon you. What will you see in the Shulamite? As it were the dance of two army camps.
