Song of Songs - Chapter 6

Song of Songs 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. Song of Songs 6.2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. Song of Songs 6.3 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. Song of Songs 6.4 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. Song of Songs 6.5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. Song of Songs 6.6 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. Song of Songs 6.7 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. Song of Songs 6.8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number. Song of Songs 6.9 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. Song of Songs 6.10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? Song of Songs 6.11 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. Song of Songs 6.12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. Song of Songs 6.13 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.
