Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
Lexham English Bible
13 [a] Turn, turn,[b] O Shulammite![c]
Turn, turn[d] so that we may look upon you!
Why do you look upon the Shulammite
as at a dance of the two armies?
Solomon’s Praise of His Dancing Maiden
7 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
O royal princess![e]
The curves of your thighs[f] are like jewels,[g]
the work of the hands of a craftsman.
2 Your navel is a round wine-mixing bowl[h]
that does not lack mixed[i] wine!
Your belly is a heap of wheat
encircled with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory;
your eyes are pools in Heshbon at the gate of Beth Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking out over Damascus.[j]
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel;[k][l]
the flowing locks of your head are like purple tapestry;[m]
a king is held captive in the tresses!
6 How beautiful you are and how pleasant,
O loved one in the delights!
