Song of Songs 6:4-10

New International Reader's Version

⁴ “My love, you are as beautiful as the city of Tirzah.
    You are as lovely as Jerusalem.
    You are as majestic as troops carrying their banners.
⁵ Turn your eyes away from me.
    They overpower me.
Your hair flows like a flock of black goats
    coming down from the hills of Gilead.
⁶ Your teeth are as clean as a flock of sheep
    coming up from being washed.
Each of your teeth has its twin.
    Not one of them is missing.
⁷ Your cheeks behind your veil
    are like the halves of a pomegranate.
⁸ There might be 60 queens and 80 concubines.
    There might be more virgins than anyone can count.
⁹ But you are my perfect dove.
    There isn’t anyone like you.
    You are your mother’s favorite daughter.
The young women see you and call you blessed.
    The queens and concubines praise you.”

¹⁰ “Who is this woman?
    She is like the sunrise in all its glory.
She is as beautiful as the moon.
    She is as bright as the sun.
    She is as majestic as the stars traveling across the sky.”
