Song of Solomon 6:1–13

Whither is thy beloved gone, ^aO thou fairest among women?

Whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

²My beloved is gone down into ^bhis garden, to the ^cbeds of spices,

To feed in the gardens, and to gather ^dlilies.

^3eI am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine:

He feedeth among the ^dlilies.

⁴Thou art beautiful, O ^fmy love, as ^gTirzah,

^hComely as Jerusalem,

ⁱTerrible as an army ^kwith banners.

⁵Turn away thine eyes from me, for ^||they have overcome me:

^lThy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

^6mThy 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.

⁷ⁿAs a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

⁸There are ^othreescore queens, and fourscore concubines,

And ^pvirgins without number.

^9qMy dove, ^rmy undefiled is but one;

She is the only one of her mother,

She is the ^schoice one of ^ther that bare her.

^uThe daughters saw her, and blessed her;

Yea, ^othe queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

^10xWho is she that looketh forth as the morning,

Fair as ^ythe moon, ^sclear as ^yzthe sun,

And ⁱterrible as an army with banners?

¹¹I went down into the garden of nuts to see the ^afruits of the valley,

And ^bto see whether the vine flourished, and ^bthe ^cpomegranates ^dbudded.

^12†Or ever I was aware,

My soul ^||made me like the ^echariots of Ammi-nadib.

¹³Return, return, O ^fShulamite;

Return, return, that we may look upon thee.

What will ye see in the Shulamite?

As it were the ^gcompany ^||of two armies.
