1Whither is thy beloved <01730> gone <01980> (8804)_, O thou fairest <03303> among women <0802>_? whither is thy beloved <01730> turned aside <06437> (8804)_? that we may seek <01245> (8762) him with thee.
2My beloved <01730> is gone down <03381> (8804) into his garden <01588>_, to the beds <06170> of spices <01314>_, to feed <07462> (8800) in the gardens <01588>_, and to gather <03950> (8800) lilies <07799>_.
3I [am] my beloved's <01730>_, and my beloved <01730> [is] mine: he feedeth <07462> (8802) among the lilies <07799>_.
4Thou [art] beautiful <03303>_, O my love <07474>_, as Tirzah <08656>_, comely <05000> as Jerusalem <03389>_, terrible <0366> as [an army] with banners <01713> (8737)_.
5Turn away <05437> (8685) thine eyes <05869> from me, for they <01992> have overcome <07292> (8689) me: thy hair <08181> [is] as a flock <05739> of goats <05795> that appear <01570> from Gilead <01568>_. {overcome...: or, puffed me up}
6Thy teeth <08127> [are] as a flock <05739> of sheep <07353> which go up <05927> (8804) from the washing <07367>_, whereof every one beareth twins <08382> (8688)_, and [there is] not one barren <07909> among them.
7As a piece <06400> of a pomegranate <07416> [are] thy temples <07541> within <01157> thy locks <06777>_.
8There are threescore <08346> queens <04436>_, and fourscore <08084> concubines <06370>_, and virgins <05959> without number <04557>_.
9My dove <03123>_, my undefiled <08535> is [but] one <0259>_; she [is] the [only] one <0259> of her mother <0517>_, she [is] the choice <01249> [one] of her that bare <03205> (8802) her. The daughters <01323> saw <07200> (8804) her, and blessed <0833> (8762) her; [yea], the queens <04436> and the concubines <06370>_, and they praised <01984> (8762) her.
10Who [is] she [that] looketh forth <08259> (8737) as the morning <07837>_, fair <03303> as the moon <03842>_, clear <01249> as the sun <02535>_, [and] terrible <0366> as [an army] with banners <01713> (8737)_?
11I went down <03381> (8804) into the garden <01594> of nuts <093> to see <07200> (8800) the fruits <03> of the valley <05158>_, [and] to see <07200> (8800) whether the vine <01612> flourished <06524> (8804)_, [and] the pomegranates <07416> budded <05132> (8689)_.
12Or ever I was aware <03045> (8804)_, my soul <05315> made <07760> (8804) me [like] the chariots <04818> of Amminadib <05993>_. {Or ever...: Heb. I knew not} {made...: or, set me on the chariots of my willing people}
13Return <07725> (8798)_, return <07725> (8798)_, O Shulamite <07759>_; return <07725> (8798)_, return <07725> (8798)_, that we may look <02372> (8799) upon thee. What will ye see <02372> (8799) in the Shulamite <07759>_? As it were the company <04246> of two armies <04264>_. {of...: or, of Mahanaim}
