Song of Solomon 5:11-16

11 His head is the finest gold;
^ahis locks are wavy,
black as a raven.
12 His ^beyes are like doves
beside streams of water,
bathed in milk,
sitting beside a full pool. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
13 His ^dcheeks are like ^ebeds of spices,
mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.
His lips are ^flilies,
dripping ^gliquid myrrh.
14 His arms are rods of gold,
set with ^hjewels.
His body is polished ivory, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain}
bedecked with ^jsapphires. ^{▼▼Hebrew lapis lazuli}
15 His legs are alabaster columns,
set on bases of gold.
His appearance is like ^lLebanon,
choice as the cedars.
16 His ^mmouth ^{▼▼Hebrew palate} is most sweet,
and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O ^odaughters of Jerusalem.
