Song of Solomon 6:5-7
New English Translation

5 Turn your eyes away from me—
they overwhelm[a] me!
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from Mount Gilead.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
coming up from the washing;
each has its twin;
not one of them is missing.
7 Like a slice of pomegranate
is your forehead[b] behind your veil.
