Bible. Song of Solomon
22:006:006 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.
22:006:007 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.
22:006:008 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and
virgins without number.
22:006:009 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.
22:006:010 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the
moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
22:006:011 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.
22:006:012 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of
Amminadib.
22:006:013 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.
22:007:001 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince’s daughter!
the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the
hands of a cunning workman.
22:007:002 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor:
thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
22:007:003 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
22:007:004 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools
in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the
tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
22:007:005 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine
head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
22:007:006 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
22:007:007 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to
clusters of grapes.
22:007:008 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the
boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of
the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
22:007:009 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved,
that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are
asleep to speak.
22:007:010 I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.
22:007:011 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge
in the villages.
22:007:012 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine
flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the
pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
