9. "You are the most beautiful woman of all. How is the one you love better than others? How is he better than anyone else? Why do you ask us to make you a promise?" The woman says,
10. "The one who loves me is tanned and handsome. He's the finest man among 10,000.
11. His head is like the purest gold. His hair is wavy and as black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like doves by streams of water. They look as if they've been washed in milk. They are set like jewels in his head.
13. His cheeks are like beds of spice that give off perfume. His lips are like lilies that drip with myrrh.
14. His arms are like gold that are set with chrysolite. His body is like polished ivory that is decorated with sapphires.
15. His legs are like pillars of marble that are set on bases of pure gold. He looks like the finest cedar tree in the mountains of Lebanon.
16. His mouth is very sweet. Everything about him is delightful. That's what the one who loves me is like. That's what my friend is like, women of Jerusalem."
