3. Bride's Beauty Is Praised 6:4-7:10
Son 6:4
Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.Son 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.Son 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.Son 6:7
As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.Son 6:8
There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.Son 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.Son 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?Son 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.Son 6:12
Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.Son 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.Son 7:1
How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.Son 7:2
Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.Son 7:3
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.Son 7:4
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.Son 7:5
Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.Son 7:6
How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!Son 7:7
This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.Son 7:8
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;Son 7:9
And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.Son 7:10
I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
