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

⁹ (Daughters of Jerusalem) Is your beloved more than another beloved, O you fairest among women? Is your beloved more than another beloved that you so charge us?

¹⁰ (The Shulamite) My beloved is white and ruddy, the chief among ten thousand. ¹¹ His head is as the finest gold. His locks are like date clusters, bushy and black as a raven. ¹² His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. ¹³ His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers. His lips are like lilies, dripping sweet smelling myrrh. ¹⁴ His hands are as gold rings set with beryl. His belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. ¹⁵ His legs are like pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold. His countenance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. ¹⁶ His mouth is very sweet: yes, he is altogether handsome. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

¹ (Daughters of Jerusalem) Where has your beloved one gone, O you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned aside that we may seek him with you?

² (The Shulamite) My beloved went to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
