Song of Solomon 6:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ but there is only one like my dove, my ·perfect [flawless] one.
    She is her mother’s only daughter,
    the ·brightest [favored] of the one who gave her birth.
The ·young women [^Ldaughters] saw her and called her ·happy [blessed];
    the queens and the ·slave women [concubines, v. 8] also praised her.

¹⁰ Who is that young woman
    that ·shines out [^Llooks down] like the dawn?
She is as ·pretty [beautiful] as the moon,
    as bright as the sun,
·as wonderful as an army flying flags [awesome like an army under banners; v. 4].

¹¹ I went down into the ·orchard [grove] of nut trees
    to see the ·blossoms [new growth] of the valley,
to look for buds on the vines,
    to see if the pomegranate trees had bloomed.
