1 Where has your love gone, most beautiful of women? Which way has he turned? We will seek him with you. Woman 2 My love has gone down to his garden, to beds of spice, to feed in the gardens and gather lilies. 3 I am my love’s and my love is mine; he feeds among the lilies. Man 4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, lovely as Jerusalem, awe-inspiring as an army with banners. 5 Turn your eyes away from me, for they captivate me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead. 6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes coming up from washing, each one having a twin, and not one missing. 7 Behind your veil, your brow is like a slice of pomegranate. 8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines and young women without number. 9 But my dove, my virtuous one, is unique; she is the favorite of her mother, perfect to the one who gave her birth. Women see her and declare her fortunate; queens and concubines also, and they sing her praises: Song of Solomon 6:1-9, Christian Standard Bible. Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.
