Song of Solomon 6:7
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.
Your brow behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate.
8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and maidens without number,
9 but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the favorite of the mother who bore her. The maidens see her and call her blessed; the queens and concubines sing her praises.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
