Song of Solomon 6:1-9 ▼

1 Where has your beloved gone, O fairest among the women? Where has your beloved turned aside, that we may seek him with you?

2 My beloved has gone to his garden, to the beds of spice, to graze in the gardens and to gather up the lilies.

3 I am unto my beloved and my beloved is unto me; he is grazing among the lilies.

4 You are beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as bannered hosts.

5 Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of the goats streaming down from the Gilead.

6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing; each has its twin, and not a bereaved one is among them.

7 Like the halves of the pomegranate is your temple behind your veil.

8 Sixty are they, the queens, and eighty the concubines, and maidens without number.

9 One she is, my dove, my perfect one; one she is, pure for her mother, she who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; and the queens and the concubines, they praised her.
