The Song of Solomon Chapter 4

Solomon’s Love Expressed

4:1 See, you are fair, my love; see, you are fair; you have doves’ eyes within your locks: your hair is like a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
4:2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep that are [even] sheared, that came up from the washing; of which every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
4:3 Your lips are like a thread of scarlet, and your speech [is] beautiful: your temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within your locks.
4:4 Your neck is like the tower Davidדָּוִד ‎
