8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines and virgins without number. 9 My perfect dove is but one; she is the only one of her mother; she is the choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her and praised her; yea, the queens and the concubines also praised her. 10 Who is she that looks forth like the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and revered as a princess? 11 I went down into the garden of walnut trees to see the fruit of the valley and to see whether the vine had blossomed and whether the pomegranates had budded. 12 And being unfamiliar with the place, I sat in the public chariot which was ready. 13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon you. What will you see in the Shulamite, who comes down joyfully, like the rejoicing of a host? Song of Solomon 6:8-13, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
