“Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, fearsome as an army with banners.

Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.

As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

There are threescore queens and fourscore concubines and virgins without number.

My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother; she is the choice one of her that bore her.” “The daughters saw her and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her:

10 ‘Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and fearsome as an army with banners?’”

Thou art fair, O my love, as Tirzah,
Comely as Jerusalem,
Terrible as [a]an army with banners.
Turn away thine eyes from me,
For they [b]have overcome me.
Thy hair is as a flock of goats,
That lie along the side of Gilead.
Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes,
Which are come up from the washing;
Whereof every one hath twins,
And none is bereaved among them.
Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate
Behind thy veil.
There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines,
And [c]virgins without number.
My dove, my [d]undefiled, is but one;
She is the only one of her mother;
She is the [e]choice one of her that bare her.
The daughters saw her, and called her blessed;
Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning,
Fair as the moon,
[f]Clear as the sun,
Terrible as an army with banners?
