Song of Solomon 6:1-13 (NKJV)

The Daughters of Jerusalem

Where has your beloved gone,O fairest among women?Where has your beloved turned aside,That we may seek him with you?

The Shulamite

My beloved has gone to his garden,To the beds of spices,To feed his flock in the gardens,And to gather lilies.I am my beloved’s,And my beloved is mine.He feeds his flock among the lilies.

Praise of the Shulamite’s Beauty

The Beloved

O my love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,Lovely as Jerusalem,Awesome as an army with banners!Turn your eyes away from me,For they have overcome me.Your hair is like a flock of goatsGoing down from Gilead.Your teeth are like a flock of sheepWhich have come up from the washing;Every one bears twins,And none is barren among them.Like a piece of pomegranateAre your temples behind your veil.

There are sixty queensAnd eighty concubines,And virgins without number.My dove, my perfect one,Is the only one,The only one of her mother,The favorite of the one who bore her.The daughters saw herAnd called her blessed,The queens and the concubines,And they praised her.

10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning,Fair as the moon,Clear as the sun,Awesome as an army with banners?

The Shulamite

11 I went down to the garden of nutsTo see the verdure of the valley,To see whether the vine had buddedAnd the pomegranates had bloomed.12 Before I was even aware,My soul had made meAs the chariots of my noble people.[a]

The Beloved and His Friends

13 Return, return, O Shulamite;Return, return, that we may look upon you!

The Shulamite

What would you see in the Shulamite—As it were, the dance of the two camps?[b]
