6:4 The fifth song
The groom
4 You are beautiful, my darling, like Tirtsah,
≈lovely like Yerushalem,
≈awe-inspiring like armies marching with banners.
5 Turn your eyes away from me, because they excite me.
Your hair is like a flock of goats that hop down from Mt. Gilead.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing,
all of which have twin lambs and none of them have died.
7 Your cheeks are lLike a slice of a pomegranate
from behind your veil.
8 He has sixty queens, and eighty concubines,
≈and young women without number.
9 She’s special, my dove, my perfect one.
≈She’s special to her mother—perfect to the woman who bore her.
The young women saw her and called her blessed.
≈The queens and the concubines praised her:
10 “Who is that, the woman who looks down like the dawn,
pure like the sun,
awe-inspiring like armies marching with banners?”
11 I went down to the nut tree garden to look at the green shoots of the valley
to see if the grapevine had budded?
≈Had the pomegranates bloomed?
12 Before I realized it,
Yerushalem’s young women
13 Return, return, woman from Shulam.
Return, return and let us look at you.
The bride
Why do you look at the Shulammite
like the dance of two armies?
7 The groom
7 Your feet are so beautiful in sandals, daughter of a noble.
The curves of your thighs are like ornaments—the work of a craftsman’s hands.
2 Your navel is like a round bowl
that never lacks spiced wine.
Your belly is like a pile of threshed wheat
encircled with lily flowers.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns—
a gazelle’s twins.
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory.
Your eyes are pools in Heshbon
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
looking to the face of Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mt. Carmel,
and the loose hair of your head is like purple robes—
a king is held captive in their tresses.
6 You’re so beautiful and so lovely—
you’re love with added delights!
7 You’re tall like a palm tree,
and your breasts like its clusters of dates.
8 I said, “I’ll go up the palm tree.
I’ll grab hold of its stalks of fruit.”
And, please, let your breasts be like the clusters on the grapevine,
and let the fragrance of your nose be like apples,
9 and let your mouth be like the best wine
going down smoothly for my dearest—
gliding over the lips of those who sleep.
The bride
10 I belong to my dearest
and his longing is for me.
11 Come, my dearest, let’s go out to the countryside.
Let’s spend the night in the villages.
12 Let’s go early to the vineyards.
We’ll see if the grapevine has budded,
if the blossoms have opened,
and if the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I’ll give my love to you.
13 The mandrakes give off a scent,
and over our doors are all kinds of choice dried fruits—
new ones and also old ones.
My dearest, I’ve stored these up for you.
8 Who will give you to me like a brother,
who nursed at my mother’s breasts?
If I found you outside, I would kiss you.
Yes, they wouldn’t despise me.
2 I would lead you.
I would bring you to my mother’s house—she who taught me.
I would have you drink some spiced wine,
≈and some of my pomegranate juice.
3 His left hand is under my head
≈and his right hand embraces me.
4 I adjure you, young women of Yerushalem,
