5 ¹⁰ My beloved is all radiant and ruddy,
distinguished among ten thousand.
5 ¹¹ His head is the finest gold;
his locks are wavy, black as a raven.
5 ¹² His eyes are like doves beside springs of water,
bathed in milk, fitly set.
5 ¹³ His cheeks are like beds of spices, yielding fragrance.
His lips are lilies, distilling liquid myrrh.
5 ¹⁴ His arms are rounded gold, set with jewels.
His body is ivory work, encrusted with sapphires.
5 ¹⁵ His legs are alabaster columns,
set upon bases of gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
choice as the cedars.
5 ¹⁶ His speech is most sweet,
and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.
