Song of Songs 6:4-12 (JDV)

Song of Songs 6:4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my companion, lovely as Jerusalem, awe-inspiring as an army with banners.
Song of Songs 6:5 Turn your eyes away from me, for they captivate me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead.
Song of Songs 6:6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes coming up from washing, each one having a twin, and not one missing.
Song of Songs 6:7 Behind your veil, your brow is like a slice of pomegranate.
Song of Songs 6:8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines and young women without number.
Song of Songs 6:9 But my dove, my virtuous one, is unique; she is the favorite of her mother, perfect to the one who gave her birth. Women see her and declare her fortunate; queens and concubines also, and they sing her praises:
Song of Songs 6:10 Who is this who shines like the dawn, as beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awe-inspiring as an army with banners?
Song of Songs 6:11 I came down to the walnut grove to see the blossoms of the valley, to see if the vines were budding and the pomegranates blooming.
Song of Songs 6:12 I didn’t know what was happening to me. I felt like I was in a chariot with a noble person.

The beautiful young lady is just going about life, not aware of the destiny that she will live. She finds herself among the chariots of her kinsman, a prince. He sees her, and she is the only one for him. So, a relationship begins. Such is the gift of human love that the LORD gives us.

LORD, we cannot understand how love happens, but teach us to honor you as the giver of this great gift.
