Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
New Living Translation
Young Women of Jerusalem
13 [a]Return, return to us, O maid of Shulam.
Come back, come back, that we may see you again.
Young Man
Why do you stare at this young woman of Shulam,
as she moves so gracefully between two lines of dancers?[b]
7 [c]How beautiful are your sandaled feet,
O queenly maiden.
Your rounded thighs are like jewels,
the work of a skilled craftsman.
2 Your navel is perfectly formed
like a goblet filled with mixed wine.
Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat
bordered with lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is as beautiful as an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is as fine as the tower of Lebanon
overlooking Damascus.
5 Your head is as majestic as Mount Carmel,
and the sheen of your hair radiates royalty.
The king is held captive by its tresses.
6 Oh, how beautiful you are!
How pleasing, my love, how full of delights!
Song of Songs 6:13-7:6
New International Version
Friends
13 Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!
He
7 [b]How beautiful your sandaled feet,
O prince’s(B) daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
the work of an artist’s hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts(C) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.(D)
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon(E)
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon(F)
looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.(G)
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the king is held captive by its tresses.
6 How beautiful(H) you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!(I)

Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
King James Version
13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
7 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
