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, O 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 standard-bearer among the ten thousands. ¹¹ His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy and black as a raven. ¹² His eyes are as doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, as doves that are next to abundance. ¹³ His cheeks are as a bed of aromatic spices, as fragrant flowers; his lips like lilies, dripping sweet smelling myrrh that transcends. ¹⁴ His hands are as gold rings set with beryls; his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. ¹⁵ His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold; his countenance is as Lebanon, chosen as the cedars. ¹⁶ His mouth is most sweet; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O virgins of Jerusalem.

¹ Where has thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? where didst thy beloved separate himself? that we may 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 the lilies.
