Song of Songs 5:10-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰ “^[a]My beloved is dazzling and ^(A)ruddy,
^(B)Lifted up as a banner among ten thousand.
¹¹ His head is like gold, fine gold;
His ^(C)locks are like clusters of dates
And black as a raven.
¹² His ^(D)eyes are like doves
Beside streams of water,
Washed in milk,
And sitting in their ^(E)setting.
¹³ His cheeks are like a ^(F)bed of spices,
Towers of sweet-scented herbs;
His lips are ^(G)lilies
^(H)Dripping with liquid myrrh.
¹⁴ His hands are rods of gold
Set with ^(I)beryl;
His abdomen is a plate of ivory
Inlaid with ^[b](J)sapphires.
¹⁵ His legs are pillars of marble
Set on bases of fine gold;
His appearance is like ^(K)Lebanon
Choice as the ^(L)cedars.
¹⁶ His ^[c](M)mouth is full of sweetness.
And he is wholly ^(N)desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.”
