Song of Songs 6:11-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 I went down to the nut orchard
to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines had budded,
whether the pomegranates were in bloom.(A)
12 Before I was aware, my desire set me
in a chariot beside my prince.[a]

The Journey to the Valley
11 I went down to the orchard of the walnut trees
to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines have sprouted,
whether the pomegranates have blossomed.
12 I did not know my heart[a] set me
in a chariot of my princely people.[b]
