Song of Songs 5:10-16 - The Woman Answers The Friends

¹⁰ My loved one is white and red, the chief among ten thousand. ¹¹ His head is as the most delicate gold; his hair is thick, and black as a raven. ¹² His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the water streams, washed with milk, and rightly placed. ¹³ His face is as beds of spices, giving out perfumes of every sort; his lips like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. ¹⁴ His hands are as rings of gold ornamented with beryl-stones; his body is as a smooth plate of ivory covered with sapphires. ¹⁵ His legs are as pillars of stone on a base of delicate gold; his looks are as Lebanon, beautiful as the cedar-tree. ¹⁶ His mouth is most sweet; yes, he is all beautiful. This is my loved one, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
