Song of Solomon 6:11-13

New International Version - UK

¹¹ I went down to the grove of nut trees
    to look at the new growth in the valley,
to see if the vines had budded
    or the pomegranates were in bloom.
¹² Before I realised it,
    my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.^[a]

¹³ Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
    come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!

Why would you gaze on the Shulammite
    as on the dance of Mahanaim?^[b]
