New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
1 'Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, That we may seek him with you?' 2 'My beloved has gone down to his garden, To the beds of balsam, To pasture his flock in the gardens And gather lilies. 3 I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine, He who pastures his flock among the lilies.' 4 'You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, As lovely as Jerusalem, As awesome as an army with banners. 5 Turn your eyes away from me, For they have confused me; Your hair is like a flock of goats That have descended from Gilead. 6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes That have come up from their watering place, All of which bear twins, And not one among them has lost her young. 7 Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate Behind your veil. 8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, And young women without number;King James Version
Chapter 6
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.

Chapter 6
1 Where has your love gone, most beautiful of women? Which way has he turned? We will seek him with you. 2 My love has gone down to his garden, to beds of spice, to feed in the gardens and gather lilies. 3 I am my love's and my love is mine; he feeds among the lilies. 4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, lovely as Jerusalem, awe-inspiring as an army with banners. 5 Turn your eyes away from me, for they captivate me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead. 6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes coming up from washing, each one having a twin, and not one missing. 7 Behind your veil, your brow is like a slice of pomegranate. 8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines and young women without number.New Living Translation

1 Where has your lover gone, O woman of rare beauty? Which way did he turn so we can help you find him?
2
My lover has gone down to his garden, to his spice beds, to browse in the gardens and gather the lilies.
3
I am my lover's, and my lover is mine. He browses among the lilies.
4
You are beautiful, my darling, like the lovely city of Tirzah. Yes, as beautiful as Jerusalem, as majestic as an army with billowing banners.
5
Turn your eyes away, for they overpower me. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead.
6
Your teeth are as white as sheep that are freshly washed. Your smile is flawless, each tooth matched with its twin.
7
Your cheeks are like rosy pomegranates behind your veil.
8
Even among sixty queens and eighty concubines and countless young women,

Chapter 6
1 Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you? 2 My beloved has gone down to his garden to the beds of spices, to graze in the gardens and to gather lilies. 3 I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies. 4 You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners. 5 Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me— Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead. 6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing; all of them bear twins; not one among them has lost its young. 7 Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil. 8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.New International Version
