Song of Solomon 5:10–16

Admiration by the Bride

10 “1My beloved is dazzling and aruddy,

2bOutstanding among ten thousand.

11 “His head is like gold, pure gold;

His alocks are like clusters of dates

And black as a raven.

12 “His aeyes are like doves

Beside streams of water,

Bathed in milk,

And 1reposed in their bsetting.

13 “His cheeks are like a abed of balsam,

Banks of sweet-scented herbs;

His lips are blilies

cDripping with liquid myrrh.

14 “His hands are rods of gold

Set with aberyl;

His abdomen is carved ivory

Inlaid with 1bsapphires.

15 “His legs are pillars of alabaster

Set on pedestals of pure gold;

His appearance is like aLebanon

Choice as the bcedars.

16 “His 1amouth is full of sweetness.

And he is wholly bdesirable.

This is my beloved and this is my friend,

O daughters of Jerusalem.”
