Song of Solomon 5:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ How is your lover better than other lovers,
    most beautiful of women?
How is your lover better than other lovers?
    Why do you want us to promise this?

¹⁰ My lover is healthy and tan,
    the best of ten thousand men.
¹¹ His head is like the finest gold;
    his hair is wavy and black like a raven.
