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.
9 My dove, my perfect one, is the only one,
the only one of her
mother,
pure to her who bore
her.
The young women saw her and called her blessed;
the queens
and concubines also, and they praised her.
10 “Who is this who looks
down like the dawn,
beautiful as the moon,
bright as the sun,
awesome as an army with
banners?”
11 I went down to the nut
orchard
to look at the
blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines had budded,
whether the pomegranates
were in bloom.
12 Before I was aware, my desire set me
among the chariots of
my kinsman, a prince. s
13 Return, return,
O Shulammite,
return, return, that we
may look upon you.
Why should you look
upon the Shulammite,
as upon a dance
before two armies?
Song of Solomon 6:4-13 depicts
a scene of reconciliation and intense admiration, where the beloved is reunited
with her partner after a period of separation. The passage features the man
affirming the unique beauty of his beloved, comparing her to royal cities and
an army with banners, highlighting her beauty and strength.
Reconciling is a beautiful
act of faith and trust. This passage highlights the restoration of
intimate, secure love between a couple after a period of separation or
tension.
How could this passage
help encourage individuals with difficulty in marriages?
How could it serve as a
measure for reconciliation with any relationship?
