Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other

He

4 You are beautiful as ^hTirzah, ⁱmy love,
^jlovely as ^kJerusalem,
^lawesome as an army with banners.
5 Turn away your eyes from me,
for they overwhelm me—
^mYour hair is like a flock of goats
leaping down the slopes of Gilead.
6 ⁿYour teeth are like a flock of ewes
that have come up from the washing;
all of them bear twins;
not one among them has lost its young.
7 ^oYour cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil.
8 There are ^psixty ^qqueens and eighty ^rconcubines,
and ^svirgins without number.
9 My ^tdove, my ^uperfect one, is the only one,
the only one of her mother,
pure to ^vher who bore her.
^wThe young women saw her and called her blessed;
^xthe queens and ^yconcubines also, and they praised her.
10 ^z“Who is this who looks down like the dawn,
beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun,
^aaawesome as an army with banners?”

11 I went down to the nut orchard
to look at ^abthe blossoms of the valley,
^acto see whether the vines had budded,
whether the pomegranates were in bloom.
12 ^adBefore I was aware, my desire set me
among ^aethe chariots of my kinsman, a prince. ^{▼
