Song of Songs 6 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Mutual Delight in Each Other

Sng 6:1[fn]Where has your beloved gone,
O most beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,
That we may seek him with you?”
Sng 6:2[fn]My beloved has gone down to his garden,
To the beds of balsam,
To pasture his flock in the gardens
And gather lilies.
Sng 6:3“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,
He who pastures his flock among the lilies.”
Sng 6:4[fn]You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling,
As lovely as Jerusalem,
As awesome as [fn]an army with banners.
Sng 6:5“Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.
Sng 6:6“Your 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 [fn]lost her young.
Sng 6:7“Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
Sng 6:8“There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
And [fn]maidens without number;
Sng 6:9But my dove, my perfect one, is [fn]unique:
She is her mother’s [fn]only daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who bore her.
The [fn]maidens saw her and called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
Sng 6:10‘Who is this that [fn]grows like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full moon,
As pure as the sun,
As awesome as [fn]an army with banners?’
Sng 6:11“I went down to the orchard of nut trees
To see the blossoms of the valley,
To see whether the vine had budded
Or the pomegranates had bloomed.
Sng 6:12“Before I was aware, my soul set me
Over the chariots of [fn]my noble people.”
Sng 6:13[fn][fn]Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, that we may gaze at you!”
[fn]Why should you gaze at the Shulammite,
As at the dance of [fn]the two companies?
