Text -- The Song of Songs 4:1-6 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
The Wedding Night: Praise of the Bride
4:1 The Lover to His Beloved: Oh, you are beautiful, my darling! Oh, you are beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are like doves. Your hair is like a flock of female goats descending from Mount Gilead. 4:2 Your teeth are like a flock of newly-shorn sheep coming up from the washing place; each of them has a twin, and not one of them is missing. 4:3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread; your mouth is lovely. Your forehead behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate. 4:4 Your neck is like the tower of David built with courses of stones; one thousand shields are hung on it– all shields of valiant warriors. 4:5 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of the gazelle grazing among the lilies. 4:6 Until the dawn arrives and the shadows flee, I will go up to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
