10 Who is she, looking down as the morning light, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, who is to be feared like an army with flags?
You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, as fair as Jerusalem; you are to be feared like an army with flags.
If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,
And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and an arch of coloured light was round his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;
And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.
Then will light be shining on you like the morning, and your wounds will quickly be well: and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will come after you.

Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.

Chapter 6
In this chapter,
Sgs 6:1-3
Here is,
Sgs 6:4-10
Now we must suppose Christ graciously returned to his spouse, from whom he had withdrawn himself, returned to converse with her (for he speaks to her and makes her to hear joy and gladness), returned to favour her, having forgiven and forgotten all her unkindness, for he speaks very tenderly and respectfully to her.
