Song Of Songs 5:10-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. W My lover is radiant and ruddy;outstanding among thousands.

11. His head is gold, pure gold,his hair like palm fronds,as black as a raven.

12. His eyes are like dovesbeside streams of water,Bathing in milk,sitting by brimming pools.

13. His cheeks are like beds of spicesyielding aromatic scents;his lips are liliesthat drip flowing myrrh.

14. His arms are rods of goldadorned with gems;His loins, a work of ivorycovered with sapphires.

15. His legs, pillars of alabaster,resting on golden pedestals.His appearance, like the Lebanon,imposing as the cedars.

16. His mouth is sweetness itself;he is delightful in every way.Such is my lover, and such my friend,Daughters of Jerusalem!
