Song of Songs 5:8-16
Legacy Standard Bible
8 I (A)call you to solemnly swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
What will you tell him?
Tell him that (B)I am sick with love.”
9 “[a]What is your beloved that he is more than any other beloved,
O (C)most beautiful among women?
What is your beloved that he is more than any other beloved,
That thus you call us to solemnly swear?”
The Bride Extols Her Beloved
10 “[b]My beloved is dazzling and (D)ruddy,
(E)Lifted up as a banner among ten thousand.
11 His head is like gold, fine gold;
His (F)locks are like clusters of dates
And black as a raven.
12 His (G)eyes are like doves
Beside streams of water,
Washed in milk,
And sitting in their (H)setting.
13 His cheeks are like a (I)bed of spices,
Towers of sweet-scented herbs;
His lips are (J)lilies
(K)Dripping with liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are rods of gold
Set with (L)beryl;
His abdomen is a plate of ivory
Inlaid with [c](M)sapphires.
15 His legs are pillars of marble
Set on bases of fine gold;
His appearance is like (N)Lebanon
Choice as the (O)cedars.
16 His [d](P)mouth is full of sweetness.
And he is wholly (Q)desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.”

8 I charge you, young women of Jerusalem,
“If you find my beloved, what are you to tell him?
Tell him[a] that I’m weak with love.”
The Young Women
9 What is so special about your beloved,[b]
most beautiful of women?
What is so special about your beloved,
that you charge us like this?
The Loved One
10 My beloved is dazzling,
with a dark and healthy complexion,
outstanding among ten thousand.
11 His head is pure gold,
his hair is wavy, black like a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves
by streams of water,
bathed in milk,
mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks are like beds of spices,
like towers of perfume.
His lips are lilies,
dripping with liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are rods of gold,
set with beryl.
His stomach is carved ivory,
inlaid with sapphires.[c]
15 His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
choice like its cedars.
16 His mouth[d] is sweetness,
and all of him is desirable.
This is my beloved, this is my friend,
young women of Jerusalem!
