Friends

1 Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?

Beloved

2 My beloved has gone down to 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 browses among the lilies,

4 You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, Lovely as Jerusalem, Awesome as an army with banners.

5 Turn away your eyes from me, For they have overcome me.

Your hair is like a flock of goats, That lie along the side of Gilead.

6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, Which have come up from the washing; Of which every one has twins; None is bereaved among them.

7 Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.

8 There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, And virgins without number.

9 My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother’s only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her.

The daughters saw her, and called her blessed, The queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning, Beautiful as the moon, Clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners?

11 I went down into the nut tree grove, To see the green plants of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, And the pomegranates were in flower.

12 Without realizing it, My desire set me with my royal people’s chariots.

Friends

13 Return, return, Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze at you.

Lover

Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite, As at the dance of Mahanaim?

Holy Bible Online is the online version of World English Bible. The World English Bible is a Modern English update of the American Standard Version of 1901.There are many good English translations of the Holy Bible. Unfortunately, all of them are either (1) archaic (like the KJV and ASV of 1901), or (2) covered by copyright restrictions that prevent unrestricted free posting on the internet or other media (like the NIV and NASB). The Bible in Basic English (BBE) was in the Public Domain in the USA (but not all countries) for a while, but its copyrighted status was restored by GATT. (The BBE used a rather restricted subset of English, anyway, limiting its accuracy and readability.) In other words, there is NO OTHER complete translation of the Holy Bible innormal Modern English that can be freely copied (except for some limited "fair use") without written permission from the publisher and (usually) payment of royalties. This is the vacuum that the World English Bible is filling.
