Song of Sol. 5:10‑16• 10My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand.
 11His head is as the finest gold; His locks are flowing, black as the raven;
 12His eyes are like doves by the water-brooks, Washed with milk, fitly set;
 13His cheeks are as a bed of spices, raised beds of sweet plants; His lips lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
 14His hands gold rings, set with the chrysolite; His belly is bright ivory, overlaid with sapphires;
 15His legs, pillars of marble, set upon bases of fine gold: His bearing as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars;
 16His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. (Song of Sol. 5:10‑16)
