Song of Solomon 6:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 “Who is this that looks down like the dawn,
beautiful as the moon,
bright as the sun,[a][b]
overwhelming as an army with banners?”[c]
The Journey to the Valley
11 I went down to the orchard of the walnut trees
to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines have sprouted,
whether the pomegranates have blossomed.
12 I did not know my heart[d] set me
in a chariot of my princely people.[e]
