Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
New American Standard Bible
The Chorus
13 “[a]Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, so that we may look at you!”
The Groom
Admiration by the Groom
7 “[c]How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
[d](C)Prince’s daughter!
The curves of your hips are like jewels,
The work of the hands of an artist.
2 Your navel is like a round goblet
That never lacks mixed wine;
Your belly is like a heap of wheat,
[e]Surrounded with lilies.
3 Your (D)two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle.
4 Your (E)neck is like a tower of ivory,
Your eyes like the pools in (F)Heshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
Which looks toward Damascus.
5 Your head [f]crowns you like (G)Carmel,
And the flowing hair of your head is like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.
6 How (H)beautiful and how delightful you are,
[g]My love, with all your delights!

New Living Translation
Young Women of Jerusalem
13 [a]Return, return to us, O maid of Shulam.
Come back, come back, that we may see you again.
Young Man
Why do you stare at this young woman of Shulam,
as she moves so gracefully between two lines of dancers?[b]
7 [c]How beautiful are your sandaled feet,
O queenly maiden.
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
the work of a skilled craftsman.
2 Your navel is perfectly formed
like a goblet filled with mixed wine.
Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat
bordered with lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is as beautiful as an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is as fine as the tower of Lebanon
overlooking Damascus.
5 Your head is as majestic as Mount Carmel,
and the sheen of your hair radiates royalty.
The king is held captive by its tresses.
6 Oh, how beautiful you are!
How pleasing, my love, how full of delights!
