Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
International Standard Version
The Young Women
13 [a]Return, return, Shulammite,
return, return, so we may look at you!
The Lover
7 [e]How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
noble lady.[f]
The curves of your thighs are like ornaments,
the work of a skilled artist’s hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks mixed wine.
Your abdomen is a bundle of wheat,
enclosed by lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory.
Your eyes are like the[g] pools in Heshbon,
beside the gate of Beth-rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
which faces Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you[h] like Mount Carmel.
Your flowing locks[i] are like purple,
and a king could be captured in the dangling tresses.
6 How beautiful and lovely you are,
you are love with its exquisite delights.[j]
