9 Bible Verses about Beauty, In Artefacts

As some were talking about the temple complex, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, He said,

Say to Tyre, who is located at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coasts and islands: This is what the Lord God says:

‘I am perfect in beauty.’
Your realm was in the heart of the sea;
your builders perfected your beauty.

And a man who was lame from birth was carried there and placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful, so he could beg from those entering the temple complex.

Men of Arvad and Helech
were stationed on your walls all around,
and Gammadites were in your towers.
They hung their shields all around your walls;
they perfected your beauty.

They were your merchants in choice garments, cloaks of blue and embroidered materials, and multicolored carpets, which were bound and secured with cords in your marketplace.

To an idol?—something that a smelter casts,
and a metalworker plates with gold
and makes silver welds for it?

How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess!
The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,
the handiwork of a master.
Your navel is a rounded bowl;
it never lacks mixed wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
surrounded by lilies.
