Song of Solomon 5:10-16 ▼

10 My love is fit and strong, notable among ten thousand.

11 His head is purest gold. His hair is wavy and black as a raven.

12 His eyes are like doves beside flowing streams, washed in milk and set like jewels.

13 His cheeks are like beds of spice, mounds of perfume. His lips are lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh.

14 His arms are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is an ivory panel covered with lapis lazuli.

15 His legs are alabaster pillars set on pedestals of pure gold. His presence is like Lebanon, as majestic as the cedars.

16 His mouth is sweetness. He is absolutely desirable. This is my love, and this is my friend, young women of Jerusalem.
