Song of Solomon 5:14 Context
12His eyes are as the eyes of doues by the riuers of water, washed with milk, and fitly set. 13His cheekes are as a bed of spices, as sweete flowers: his lippes like lillies, dropping sweete smelling myrrhe. 14His hands are as gold rings set with the Berill: His belly is as bright iuorie, ouerlayd with Saphires. 15His legges are as pillars of marble, set vpon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the Cedars. 16His mouth is most sweete, yea he is altogether louely. This is my beloued, and this is my friend, O daughters of Ierusalem.
