NASB Bible

Song of Solomon 6

Mutual Delight in Each Other

1

1 aWhere has your beloved gone, O  bmost beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, That we may seek him with you?"

2

1My beloved has gone down to his  agarden, To the  bbeds of balsam, To  cpasture his flock in the gardens And gather  dlilies.

3

aI am my beloved's and my beloved is mine, He who  bpastures his flock among the lilies."

4

1 aYou are as beautiful as  bTirzah, my darling, As  clovely as  dJerusalem, As  eawesome as  2an army with banners.

5

"Turn your eyes away from me, For they have confused me;  aYour hair is like a flock of goats That have descended from Gilead.

6

aYour teeth are like a flock of ewes Which have come up from their washing, All of which bear twins, And not one among them has  1lost her young.

7

aYour temples are like a slice of a pomegranate Behind your veil.

8

"There are sixty  aqueens and eighty concubines, And  1 bmaidens without number;

9

But  amy dove, my perfect one, is  1unique: She is her mother's  1only daughter; She is the pure child of the one who bore her. The  2 bmaidens saw her and called her blessed, The  cqueens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,

10

`Who is this that  1grows like the dawn, As beautiful as the full  amoon, As pure  bas the sun, As  cawesome as  2an army with banners?'

11

"I went down to the orchard of nut trees To see the blossoms of the valley, To see whether  athe vine had budded Or the  bpomegranates had bloomed.

12

"Before I was aware, my soul set me Over the chariots of  1my noble people."

13

1\, 2Come back, come back, O Shulammite; Come back, come back, that we may gaze at you!"

3Why should you gaze at the Shulammite, As at the  adance of  4 bthe two companies?
