Song of Solomon 5:9-16 ⓘ

5:9 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest amongst women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?

5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best amongst ten thousand.

5:11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.

5:12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.

5:13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

5:14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.

5:15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

5:16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
