Song of Solomon 6:1-13

The Song of Solomon

6 “Where has your dear one gone,

O most beautiful of women?

Which way did your dear one turn?

Let us seek him with you.”

 2 “My dear one has gone down to his garden,

To the beds of spice plants,

To shepherd among the gardens

And to pick lilies.+

 3 I am my dear one’s,

And my dear one is mine.+

He is shepherding among the lilies.”+

 4 “You are as beautiful as Tirʹzah,*+ my beloved,+

As lovely as Jerusalem,+

As breathtaking as armies around their banners.+

 5 Turn your eyes+ away from me,

For they overwhelm me.

Your hair is like a flock of goats

Streaming down the slopes of Gilʹe·ad.+

 6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep

That have come up from being washed,

All of them bearing twins,

And not one has lost her young.

 7 Like a segment of pomegranate

Are your cheeks* behind your veil.

 8 There may be 60 queens

And 80 concubines

And young women without number.+

 9 But only one is my dove,+ my flawless one.

The only one of her mother.

She is the favorite* of the one who bore her.

The daughters see her, and they pronounce her happy;

Queens and concubines, and they praise her.

10 ‘Who is she who shines* like the dawn,

As beautiful as the full moon,

As pure as the sunlight,

As breathtaking as armies around their banners?’”+

11 “I went down to the garden of nut trees+

To see the new growth in the valley,*

To see whether the vine had sprouted,*

Whether the pomegranate trees had blossomed.

12 Before I knew it,

My desire* had put me

At the chariots of my noble* people.”

13 “Return, return, O Shuʹlam·mite!

Return, return,

That we may look upon you!”

“Why do you gaze upon the Shuʹlam·mite?”+

“She is like the dance of two companies!”*
