Song of Songs 6:1-3, NLT

Song of Songs 6

Young Women of Jerusalem

1Where has your lover gone,

O woman of rare beauty?

Which way did he turn

so we can help you find him?

Young Woman

2My lover has gone down to his garden,

to his spice beds,

to browse in the gardens

and gather the lilies.

3I am my lover’s, and my lover is mine.

He browses among the lilies.

The NLT is an excellent translation for serious Bible study because at every turn of the page the NLT provides illuminating renderings of passages that are difficult to understand in other versions.
