Song of Solomon 4:4-7
The Message
The Man
4 1-5 You’re so beautiful, my darling,
so beautiful, and your dove eyes are veiled
By your hair as it flows and shimmers,
like a flock of goats in the distance
streaming down a hillside in the sunshine.
Your smile is generous and full—
expressive and strong and clean.
Your lips are jewel red,
your mouth elegant and inviting,
your veiled cheeks soft and radiant.
The smooth, lithe lines of your neck
command notice—all heads turn in awe and admiration!
Your breasts are like fawns,
twins of a gazelle, grazing among the first spring flowers.
6-7 The sweet, fragrant curves of your body,
the soft, spiced contours of your flesh
Invite me, and I come. I stay
until dawn breathes its light and night slips away.
You’re beautiful from head to toe, my dear love,
beautiful beyond compare, absolutely flawless.

Song of Songs 4:4-6
New International Version
4 Your neck is like the tower(A) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(B)
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts(C) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle(D)
that browse among the lilies.(E)
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(F)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(G)
and to the hill of incense.
