Song of Solomon 6:4-10
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]Turn away thine eyes from me: for they overcome me: (A)thine hair is like a flock of goats, which look down from Gilead.
5 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep, which go up from the washing, which every one bring out twins, and none is barren among them.
6 Thy temples are within thy locks as a piece of a pomegranate.
7 There are [b]threescore Queens, and fourscore concubines, and of the damsels without number.
8 But my dove is alone, and my undefiled, she is the only daughter of her mother, and she is dear to her that bare her: the daughters have seen her, and counted her blessed: even the Queens and the concubines, and they have praised her.
9 [c]Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, pure as the sun, terrible as an army with banners!
10 I went down to the [d]garden of nuts, to see the fruits of the valley, to see if the vine budded, and if the pomegranates flourished.
