Song of Songs 6:13-7:6
New International Version
Friends
13 Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!
He
7 [b]How beautiful your sandaled feet,
O prince’s(B) daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
the work of an artist’s hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts(C) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.(D)
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon(E)
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon(F)
looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.(G)
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the king is held captive by its tresses.
6 How beautiful(H) you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!(I)
