Song of Songs 6:13-7:6

New International Reader's Version

¹³ “Come back to us.
    Come back, Shulammite woman.
Come back to us.
    Come back. Then we can look at you.”

“Why do you want to look at the Shulammite woman
    as you would watch a dancer at Mahanaim?”

7 “You are like a prince’s daughter.
    Your feet in sandals are so beautiful.
Your graceful legs are like jewels.
    The hands of an artist must have shaped them.
² Your navel is like a round bowl
    that always has mixed wine in it.
Your waist is like a mound of wheat
    surrounded by lilies.
³ Your two breasts are lovely.
    They are like two young antelopes.
⁴ Your neck is smooth and beautiful like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the pools of Heshbon
    by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the towering mountains of Lebanon
    that face the city of Damascus.
⁵ Your head is like a crown on you.
    It is as beautiful as Mount Carmel.
Your hair is as smooth as purple silk.
    I am captured by your flowing curls.
⁶ You are so beautiful! You please me so much!
    You are so delightful, my love!
