Song of Solomon 6:4

JerusalemTirzah
Love for othersIdentity and self-worth

2 My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens and to gather lilies.

3 I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

You are as beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as troops with banners.

5 Turn your eyes away from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead.

6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin, and not one of them is lost.
