Song Of Songs 4:2-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

2. Your teeth are like a flock of ewes to be shorn,that come up from the washing,All of them big with twins,none of them barren.

3. Like a scarlet strand, your lips,and your mouth—lovely!Like pomegranate halves, your cheeksbehind your veil.

4. Like a tower of David, your neck,built in courses,A thousand shields hanging upon it,all the armor of warriors.

5. Your breasts are like two fawns,twins of a gazellefeeding among the lilies.

6. Until the day grows cooland the shadows flee,I shall go to the mountain of myrrh,to the hill of frankincense.

7. You are beautiful in every way, my friend,there is no flaw in you!

8. With me from Lebanon, my bride!With me from Lebanon, come!Descend from the peak of Amana,from the peak of Senir and Hermon,From the lairs of lions,from the leopards’ heights.

9. You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride;you have ravished my heart with one glance of your eyes,with one bead of your necklace.
