Song of Solomon 1:12
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 We will make you ornaments of gold, studded with beads of silver.
While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
