Song of Songs 5:10-16

10My beloved is dazzling and ruddy; he stands out in comparison to all other men.

11His head is like the most pure gold. His hair is curly – black like a raven.

12His eyes are like doves by streams of water, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.

13His cheeks are like garden beds full of balsam trees yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with drops of myrrh.

14His arms are like rods of gold set with chrysolite. His abdomen is like polished ivory inlaid with sapphires.

15His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.

16His mouth is very sweet; he is totally desirable. This is my beloved! This is my companion, O maidens of Jerusalem!
