Song of Songs 6:4-10
Christian Standard Bible
Man
4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling,
lovely as Jerusalem,
awe-inspiring as an army with banners.(A)
5 Turn your eyes away from me,
for they captivate me.(B)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
streaming down from Gilead.(C)
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
coming up from washing,
each one having a twin,
and not one missing.[a](D)
7 Behind your veil,(E)
your brow[b] is like a slice of pomegranate.
8 There are sixty queens
and eighty concubines(F)
and young women[c] without number.
9 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)
Song of Solomon 6:4-10
New American Standard Bible
The Groom
4 “(A)You are as beautiful as (B)Tirzah, my darling,
As (C)lovely as (D)Jerusalem,
As (E)awesome as an army with banners.
5 Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
(F)Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.
6 (G)Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
That have come up from their watering place,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has lost her young.
7 (H)Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
8 There are sixty (I)queens and eighty concubines,
And [a](J)young women without number;
9 But (K)my dove, my perfect one, is [b]unique:
She is her mother’s [c]only daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who gave birth to her.
The [d](L)young women saw her and called her [e]blessed,
The (M)queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
10 ‘Who is this who looks down like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full (N)moon,
As pure (O)as the sun,
As (P)awesome as an army with banners?’
