Song of Solomon 6

<< Song of Solomon 6 >>
New International Version 1984
 

Friends

10Who is this that appears like the dawn,

fair as the moon, bright as the sun,

majestic as the stars in procession?

Lover

11I went down to the grove of nut trees

to look at the new growth in the valley,

to see if the vines had budded

or the pomegranates were in bloom.

12Before I realized it,

my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.a

Friends

13Come back, come back, O Shulammite;

Lover

come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!

Why would you gaze on the Shulammite

as on the dance of Mahanaim?
