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.
