Song of Solomon 4:1-2

The Lover

4 Look at you! You are beautiful, my darling.
Look at you! You are so beautiful.
Your eyes behind your veil are doves,
    your hair is like a flock of goats
        coming down from Mt. Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep about to be sheared,[a]
    who are coming up from being washed.[b]
All of them are twins,
    not one has lost[c] her young.

4 How beautiful you are, my darling!
    Oh, how beautiful!

    coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
