The Song of Solomon, Chapter 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.
