Man

You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling,
lovely as Jerusalem,
awe-inspiring as an army with banners.(A)
Turn your eyes away from me,
for they captivate me.(B)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
streaming down from Gilead.(C)
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
coming up from washing,
each one having a twin,
and not one missing.[a](D)
Behind your veil,(E)
your brow[b] is like a slice of pomegranate.
There are sixty queens
and eighty concubines(F)
and young women[c] without number.
But my dove,(G) my virtuous one, is unique;(H)
she is the favorite of her mother,
perfect to the one who gave her birth.
Women see her and declare her fortunate;(I)
queens and concubines also, and they sing her praises:
10 Who is this(J) who shines like the dawn,
as beautiful as the moon,
bright as the sun,
awe-inspiring as an army with banners?(K)
