Song of Solomon 6
1 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 I
am my beloved's, and my beloved
is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
4 Thou
art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as
an army with banners.
5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair
is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
6 Thy teeth
are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and
there is not one barren among them.
7 As a piece of a pomegranate
are thy temples within thy locks.
8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
9 My dove, my undefiled is
but one; she
is the
only one of her mother, she
is the choice
one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her;
yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
10 Who
is she
that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun,
and terrible as
an army with banners?
11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley,
and to see whether the vine flourished,
and the pomegranates budded.
12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me
like the chariots of Amminadib.
13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
