“Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
(A)Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.
(B)Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has [a]lost her young.
(C)Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.

  1. Song of Solomon 6:6 Or miscarried

Your hair is like a flock of goats

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
    coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin,
    not one of them is missing.(B)
Your temples behind your veil(C)
    are like the halves of a pomegranate.(D)
