AB - Song of Solomon - 6

6:1  (5:17) Where has your kinsman gone, O fairest among women? Where has your kinsman turned aside? Tell us, and we will seek him with you.

6:2  (6:1) My kinsman has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spice, to feed his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

6:3  (6:2) I am my kinsman's, and my kinsman is mine, who feeds among the lilies.

6:4  (6:3) You are fair, my companion, as Pleasure, beautiful as Jerusalem, terrible as armies set in array.

6:5  (6:4) Turn away your eyes from before me, for they have ravished me: your hair is as flocks of goats which have appeared from Gilead.

6:6  (6:5) Your teeth are as flocks of shorn sheep, that have gone up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none barren among them: your lips are as a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely.

6:7  (6:6) Your cheek is like the rind of a pomegranate, being seen without your veil.

6:8  (6:7) There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.

6:9  (6:8) My dove, my perfect one is one; she is the only one of her mother; she is the choice of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed, yes, and the concubines, and they will praise her.

6:10  (6:9) Who is this that looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, choice as the sun, terrible as armies set in array?

6:11  (6:10) I went down to the garden of nuts, to look at the fruits of the valley, to see if the vine flowered, if the pomegranates blossomed.

6:12  (6:11) There I will give you my breasts: my soul knew it not: it made me as the chariots of Aminadab.

6:13  (6:12) Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, and we will look at you. What will you see in the Shulamite? She comes as bands of armies.
