Song of Songs 5:9-Song of Songs 6:2 - Maiden's Praise Of Her Beloved

⁹ What is thy beloved more than another beloved, Thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, That thou dost so charge us?

¹⁰ My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand. ¹¹ His head is as the finest gold; His locks are flowing, black as the raven; ¹² His eyes are like doves by the water-brooks, Washed with milk, fitly set; ¹³ His cheeks are as a bed of spices, raised beds of sweet plants; His lips lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. ¹⁴ His hands gold rings, set with the chrysolite; His belly is bright ivory, overlaid with sapphires; ¹⁵ His legs, pillars of marble, set upon bases of fine gold: His bearing as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars; ¹⁶ His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

¹ Whither is thy beloved gone, Thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? And we will seek him with thee.

² My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, To feed in the gardens and to gather lilies.
