Song of Solomon 5:10-16

Common English Bible

¹⁰ My lover is radiant and ruddy;
        he stands out among ten thousand!
¹¹ His head is finest gold;
        his wavy hair, black as a raven.
¹² His eyes are like doves
        by channels of water.
They are bathing in milk,
        sitting by brimming pools.
¹³ His cheeks are like fragrant plantings,
        towers of spices.
        His lips are lilies
            dripping liquid myrrh.
¹⁴ His arms are gold cylinders
        studded with jewels.
His belly is smooth ivory
        encrusted with sapphires.
¹⁵ His thighs are pillars of whitest stone
        set on pedestals of gold.
His appearance—like Lebanon,
        stately, like the cedars.
¹⁶ His mouth is everything sweet,
        every bit of him desirable.
