Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Song of Songs 5:9-16

9How is your beloved better than others,
O most beautiful among women?
How is your beloved better than another,
that you charge us so?
10My beloved is dazzling and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.
11His head is purest gold;
his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
12His eyes are like doves
beside the streams of water,
bathed in milk
and mounted like jewels.
13His cheeks are like beds of spice,
towers of perfume.
His lips are like lilies,
dripping with flowing myrrh.
14His arms are rods of gold
set with beryl.
His body is an ivory panel
bedecked with sapphires.
15His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
as majestic as the cedars.
16His mouth is most sweet;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.
