Song of Songs 6:4-10
Modern English Version
The Man
4 You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love,
comely as Jerusalem,
awesome as an army with banners!
5 Turn your eyes away from me,
for they overwhelm me!
Your hair is like a flock of goats
streaming down from 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 has lost its young;
7 your cheeks are like halves
of a pomegranate behind your veil.
8 There are sixty queens
and eighty concubines,
and virgins without number.
9 My dove, my perfect one, is the only one,
the only one of her mother,
choice to her who bore her.
The maidens saw her and called her blessed;
the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.
10 Who is this who looks forth like the dawn,
fair as the moon, radiant as the sun,
awesome as an army with banners?
Song of Solomon 6:4-10
21st Century King James Version
4 “Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, fearsome as an army with banners.
5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
6 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
7 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.
8 There are threescore queens and fourscore concubines and virgins without number.
9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother; she is the choice one of her that bore her.” “The daughters saw her and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her:
10 ‘Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and fearsome as an army with banners?’”
