Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
M Why are you looking at the Shulammite,
as you look at the dance(A) of the two camps?[d](B)
7 How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess
The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,
the handiwork of a master.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl;
it never lacks mixed wine.
Your waist[f] is a mound of wheat
surrounded by lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.(D)
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory,(E)
your eyes like pools in Heshbon
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you[g] like Mount Carmel,
the hair of your head like purple cloth—
a king could be held captive(F) in your tresses.
6 How beautiful you are and how pleasant,(G)
my love, with such delights!
