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
Legacy Standard Bible

13 “[a][b]Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, that we may behold you!”
“[c]Why should you behold the Shulammite,
As at the (A)dance of [d](B)the two companies?

7 “[e]How beautiful are your [f]feet in sandals,
O (C)noble’s daughter!
The curves of your thighs are like ornaments,
The work of the hands of an artist.
2 Your navel is like a round basin
Which never lacks mixed wine;
Your belly is like a heap of wheat
Encircled 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 faces toward Damascus.
5 Your head [g]crowns you like (G)Carmel,
And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.
6 How (H)beautiful and how pleasant you are,
[h]My love, with all your pleasures!
