The Bride Praises Her Beloved (SNG 5:9-6:1)

She

[5:10] My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.

[5:11] His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven.

[5:12] His eyes are like doves beside streams of water, bathed in milk, sitting beside a full pool.

[5:13] His cheeks are like beds of spices, mounds of sweet-smelling herbs. His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh.

[5:14] His arms are rods of gold, set with jewels. His body is polished ivory, bedecked with sapphires.

[5:15] His legs are alabaster columns, set on bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

[5:16] His mouth is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Others

[6:1] Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?
