1 The beauty of the Church in all her members. 10 She is assured of Christ’s love towards her.

How beautiful are thy [a]goings with shoes, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels: the work of the hand of a cunning workman.

Thy navel is as a round cup that wanteth not liquor: thy belly is as an heap of wheat compassed about with lilies.

[b]Thy two breasts are as two young roes that are twins.

Thy neck is like a tower of ivory; thine eyes are like the fish pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon that looketh toward Damascus.

Thine head upon thee is as scarlet, and the bush of thine head like purple: the king is tied [c]in the [d]rafters.

How fair art thou, and how pleasant art thou, O my love, in pleasures!
