Song Of Songs 5:13-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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!
