Song of Solomon 4:1-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

4 Look at you! You are beautiful, my true love.
Look at you! You are so beautiful.
Your eyes behind your veil are like doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats moving down Mount Gilead.
² Your teeth are like a flock of sheep about to be sheared,
sheep that come up from the washing.
All of them bear twins, and not one has lost its young.
³ Your lips are like scarlet thread.
Your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil are like slices of pomegranate.
⁴ Your neck is like David’s beautifully-designed tower.
A thousand round shields belonging to soldiers
are hung on it.
⁵ Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin gazelles grazing among the lilies.
⁶ When the day brings a cool breeze and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of incense.
⁷ You are beautiful in every way, my true love.
There is no blemish on you.
