The Daughters' Inquiry and the Beloved's Praise
Song of Solomon 5:9-15
9
How is your beloved better than others, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another, that you charge us so?
10
My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
11
His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
12
His eyes are like doves beside the streams of water, bathed in milk and mounted like jewels.
13
His cheeks are like beds of spice, towers of perfume. His lips are like lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh.
14
His arms are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is an ivory panel bedecked with sapphires.
15
His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, as majestic as the cedars.
