Song of Solomon 5:10-16 ▼

10 My beloved [is] clear and ruddy, || Conspicuous above a myriad!

11 His head [is] pure gold—fine gold, || His locks flowing, dark as a raven,

12 His eyes as doves by streams of water, || Washing in milk, sitting in fullness.

13 His cheeks [are] as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, || His lips—lilies, dripping [and] flowing [with] myrrh,

14 His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, || His heart bright ivory, covered with sapphires,

15 His limbs pillars of marble, || Founded on sockets of fine gold, || His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

16 His mouth is sweetness—and all of him desirable, || This [is] my beloved, and this my friend, || O daughters of Jerusalem!
