Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
GOD’S WORD Translation
[ THE CHORUS OF YOUNG WOMEN ]
13 Come back! Come back, young woman from Shulam!
Come back! Come back so that we may look at you!
[ BRIDE ]
Why do you look at me, the young woman from Shulam,
as you look at the dance of Mahanaim?
[ THE CHORUS OF YOUNG WOMEN ]
7 [a]How beautiful are your feet in their sandals, noble daughter!
The curves of your thighs are like ornaments,
like the work of an artist’s hands.
2 Your navel is a round bowl.
May it always be filled with spiced wine.
Your waist is a bundle of wheat enclosed in lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like pools in Heshbon, pools by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like a Lebanese tower facing Damascus.
5 You hold your head as high as Mount Carmel.
Your dangling curls are royal beauty.
Your flowing locks could hold a king captive.
Solomon Longs for the Young Woman’s Affection
[ GROOM ]
6 How beautiful and charming you are, my love, with your elegance.
