The Bride Praises Her Beloved

She

10 My beloved is radiant and ^fruddy,
^gdistinguished among ten thousand.
11 His head is the finest gold;
^hhis locks are wavy,
black as a raven.
12 His ⁱeyes are like doves
beside streams of water,
bathed in milk,
sitting beside a full pool. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
13 His ^kcheeks are like ^lbeds of spices,
mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.
His lips are ^mlilies,
dripping ⁿliquid myrrh.
14 His arms are rods of gold,
set with ^ojewels.
His body is polished ivory, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain}
bedecked with ^qsapphires. ^{▼▼Hebrew lapis lazuli}
15 His legs are alabaster columns,
set on bases of gold.
His appearance is like ^sLebanon,
choice as the cedars.
16 His ^tmouth ^{▼▼Hebrew palate} is most sweet,
and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O ^vdaughters of Jerusalem.

Zechariah 9:17

17 ^wFor how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!
^xGrain shall make the young men flourish,
and new wine the young women.

Philippians 3:8-9

8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of ^ythe surpassing worth of ^zknowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I ^aahave suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having ^aba righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but ^acthat which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—

Revelation of John 5:11-13

11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering ^admyriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

^ae“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard ^afevery creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
