Text -- The Song of Songs 5:10-16 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
5:10 The Beloved to the Maidens: My beloved is dazzling and ruddy; he stands out in comparison to all other men. 5:11 His head is like the most pure gold. His hair is curly– black like a raven. 5:12 His eyes are like doves by streams of water, washed in milk, mounted like jewels. 5:13 His cheeks are like garden beds full of balsam trees yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with drops of myrrh. 5:14 His arms are like rods of gold set with chrysolite. His abdomen is like polished ivory inlaid with sapphires. 5:15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars. 5:16 His mouth is very sweet; he is totally desirable. This is my beloved! This is my companion, O maidens of Jerusalem!
