Song of Solomon 4:4 in context

Song of Solomon 4:1–7

1

Behold, you are beautiful, my love.

Behold, you are beautiful.

Your eyes are like doves behind your veil.

Your hair is as a flock of goats,

that descend from Mount Gilead.

2

Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock,

which have come up from the washing,

where every one of them has twins.

None is bereaved among them.

3

Your lips are like scarlet thread.

Your mouth is lovely.

Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.

4
Selected verse

Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory,

on which a thousand shields hang,

all the shields of the mighty men.

5

Your two breasts are like two fawns

that are twins of a roe,

which feed among the lilies.

6

Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,

I will go to the mountain of myrrh,

to the hill of frankincense.

7

You are all beautiful, my love.

There is no spot in you.
