Song of Songs 6:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹I went down to the garden of walnut trees.^[a]
    I wanted to see the new plants that were growing in the valley;
    to see if the vines had new leaves now;
    to see if the pomegranate trees had flowers.
¹²I became so happy
    that I did not understand what was happening.
I knew that I wanted to be with her.
    I felt that I was riding with the king's men in their chariots.

The young women of Jerusalem:

¹³Come back, come back, young woman from Shulam!^[b]
Yes, come back,
so that we can look at you again.

The young man:

Why do you want to look at the young woman from Shulam?
Do not look at her as if she is dancing the dance of Mahanaim.^[c]
