Song Of Songs 6:5-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. Turn your eyes away from me,for they captivate me. Your hair is like a flock of goatsstreaming down from Gilead.

6. Your teeth are like a flock of ewescoming up from washing,each one having a twin,and not one missing.

7. Behind your veil, your brow is like a slice of pomegranate.

8. There are 60 queensand 80 concubines and young women without number.

9. But my dove, my virtuous one, is unique; she is the favorite of her mother,perfect to the one who gave her birth.Women see her and declare her fortunate; queens and concubines also, and they sing her praises:

10. Who is this who shines like the dawn —as beautiful as the moon,bright as the sun,awe-inspiring as an army with banners?

11. I came down to the walnut groveto see the blossoms of the valley,to see if the vines were budding and the pomegranates blooming.

12. Before I knew it,my desire put meamong the chariots of my noble people.

13. Come back, come back, Shulammite! Come back, come back, that we may look at you!Why are you looking at the Shulammite,as you look at the dance of the two camps?
