Song of Solomon 6:7-9
GOD’S WORD Translation
7 Your temples behind your veil are like slices of pomegranate.
8 There are 60 queens, 80 concubines,[a] and countless virgins,
9 but she is unique, my dove, my perfect one.
Her mother thinks she is unique.
She is pure to the one who gave birth to her.
Her sisters saw her and blessed her.
Queens and concubines saw her and praised her.
