| 1 | Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee. |
| 2 | My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. |
| 3 | I {am} my beloved’s, and my beloved {is} mine: he feedeth among the lilies. |
| 4 | Thou {art} beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as {an army} with banners. |
| 5 | Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair {is} as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. |
| 6 | Thy teeth {are} as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and {there is} not one barren among them. |
| 7 | As a piece of a pomegranate {are} thy temples within thy locks. |
| 8 | There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number. |
| 9 | My dove, my undefiled is {but} one; she {is} the {only} one of her mother, she {is} the choice {one} of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; {yea}, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. |
| 10 | Who {is} she {that} looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, {and} terrible as {an army} with banners? |
| 11 | I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, {and} to see whether the vine flourished {and} the pomegranates budded. |
| 12 | Or ever I was aware, my soul made me {like} the chariots of Amminadib. |
| 13 | Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? as it were the company of two armies. |
