Song of Solomon 6:4-10

Common English Bible

Your hair is like a flock of goats
        as they stream down from Gilead.
⁶ Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
        as they come up from the washing pool—
            all of them perfectly matched,
            not one of them lacks its twin.
⁷ Like a slice of pomegranate is the curve of your face
        behind the veil of your hair.
⁸ There may be sixty queens
        and eighty secondary wives,
        young women beyond counting,
⁹     but my dove, my perfect one, is one of a kind.
To her mother she’s the only one,
        radiant to the one who bore her.
Young women see her and declare her fortunate;
        queens and secondary wives praise her.

¹⁰ Who is this, gazing down like the morning star,
        beautiful as the full moon,
        radiant as the sun,
        formidable as those lofty sights?
