Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
New American Standard Bible
The Chorus
13 “[a]Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, so that we may look at you!”
The Groom
Admiration by the Groom
7 “[c]How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
[d](C)Prince’s daughter!
The curves of your hips are like jewels,
The work of the hands of an artist.
2 Your navel is like a round goblet
That never lacks mixed wine;
Your belly is like a heap of wheat,
[e]Surrounded with lilies.
3 Your (D)two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle.
4 Your (E)neck is like a tower of ivory,
Your eyes like the pools in (F)Heshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
Which looks toward Damascus.
5 Your head [f]crowns you like (G)Carmel,
And the flowing hair of your head is like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.
6 How (H)beautiful and how delightful you are,
[g]My love, with all your delights!

Graceful dancer
[Man]
13 [a] Come back, come back, Shulammite![b]
Come back, come back, so we may admire you.
How you all admire the Shulammite
as she whirls between two circles of dancers!
7 How graceful are your sandaled feet,
willing woman!
The smooth curves of your thighs—like fine jewelry,
the work of an artist’s hands!
2 Your navel, cupped like the full moon—
may it never lack spiced wine!
Your belly is a mound of winnowed wheat
edged with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle doe;
4 your neck, like a tower of ivory;
your eyes, pools in Heshbon,
by the gate of that lordly city.[c]
Your profile is like the tower of Lebanon,
looking out toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
and your hair, braided in royal purple—
a king is bound by the tresses!
6 You are so beautiful, so lovely—
my love, delightful one![d]
