Song of Solomon 5:13
Context
13“His cheeks are like a bed of balsam,
         Banks of sweet-scented herbs;
         His lips are lilies
         Dripping with liquid myrrh.

14“His hands are rods of gold
         Set with beryl;
         His abdomen is carved ivory
         Inlaid with sapphires.

15“His legs are pillars of alabaster
         Set on pedestals of pure gold;
         His appearance is like Lebanon
         Choice as the cedars.

16“His mouth is full of sweetness.
         And he is wholly desirable.
         This is my beloved and this is my friend,
         O daughters of Jerusalem.”
