Shir Hashirim 4:1-7 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Behold, thou art yafeh, my love; behold, thou art yafeh; thine eyes are yonim (doves) behind your veil; thy hair is like an eder (flock) of goats descending from Mount Gil`ad.

2. Thy teeth are like an eder of sheep that are just shorn, coming up from washing; whereof every one is matched, and none is missing among them.

3. Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy mouth is naveh (lovely); thy temple is like a half-pomegranate within thy veil.

4. Thy tzavar (neck) is like the migdal Dovid girt with battlements, whereon there hang a thousand mogen [Dovid], all the shields of Gibborim.

5. Thy two breasts are like two ofarim (fawns, young deer) that are twins, which graze among the lilies.

6. Until HaYom (the day) break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the har hamor (mountain of myrrh), and to the hill of frankincense.

7. Thou art all yafeh, my love; there is no mum (blemish, spot, defect, flaw) in thee.
