Song Of Songs 4:1-8 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

1. How beautiful you are, my love!How your eyes shine with love behind your veil.Your hair dances, like a flock of goatsbounding down the hills of Gilead.

2. Your teeth are as white as sheepthat have just been shorn and washed.Not one of them is missing;they are all perfectly matched.

3. Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;how lovely they are when you speak.Your cheeks glow behind your veil.

4. Your neck is like the tower of David,round and smooth,with a necklace like a thousand shields hung round it.

5. Your breasts are like gazelles,twin deer feeding among lilies.

6. I will stay on the hill of myrrh,the hill of incense,until the morning breezes blowand the darkness disappears.

7. How beautiful you are, my love;how perfect you are!

8. Come with me from the Lebanon Mountains, my bride;come with me from Lebanon.Come down from the top of Mount Amana,from Mount Senir and Mount Hermon,where the lions and leopards live.
