Song of Songs 6:4-10
Legacy Standard Bible
4 “[a](A)You are as beautiful as (B)Tirzah, my darling,
As (C)lovely as (D)Jerusalem,
As (E)majestic as [b]an army with banners.
5 Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have overwhelmed me;
(F)Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have leapt down from Gilead.
6 (G)Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has [c]lost her young.
7 (H)Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
8 There are sixty (I)queens and eighty concubines,
And [d](J)maidens without number;
9 She is the only one—(K)my dove, my perfect one;
She is the only one of her mother;
She is the pure one of her who bore her.
The (L)daughters saw her and called her blessed,
The (M)queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
10 ‘Who is this that looks down like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full (N)moon,
As pure (O)as the sun,
As (P)majestic as [e]an army with banners?’

Revised Standard Version
The Bride’s Matchless Beauty
4 You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love,
comely as Jerusalem,
terrible as an army with banners.
5 Turn away your eyes from me,
for they disturb me—
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
moving down the slopes of Gilead.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes,
that have come up from the washing,
all of them bear twins,
not one among them is bereaved.
7 Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil.
8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
and maidens without number.
9 My dove, my perfect one, is only one,
the darling of her mother,
flawless to her that bore her.
The maidens saw her and called her happy;
the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.
10 “Who is this that looks forth like the dawn,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
terrible as an army with banners?”
