Song Of Songs 6:6-13 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

6. Your teeth are as white as a flock of sheepthat have just been washed.Not one of them is missing;they are all perfectly matched.

7. Your cheeks glow behind your veil.

8. Let the king have sixty queens, eighty concubines,young women without number!

9. But I love only one,and she is as lovely as a dove.She is her mother's only daughter,her mother's favourite child.All women look at her and praise her;queens and concubines sing her praises.

10. Who is this whose glance is like the dawn?She is beautiful and bright,as dazzling as the sun or the moon.

11. I have come down among the almond treesto see the young plants in the valley,to see the new leaves on the vinesand the blossoms on the pomegranate trees.

12. I am trembling; you have made me as eager for loveas a chariot driver is for battle.

13. Dance, dance, girl of Shulam.Let us watch you as you dance.Why do you want to watch meas I dance between the rows of onlookers?
