Song of Songs 6:4-10

4You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.

5Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me— Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead.

6Your 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.

7Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

8There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

9My dove, my perfect one, is the only one, the only one of her mother, pure to her who bore her. The young women saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.

10"Who is this who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?"
