Song of Solomon 4:5

Love for others

3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon, and your mouth is lovely. Your brow behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate.

4 Your neck is like the tower of David, built with rows of stones; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle grazing among the lilies.

6 Before the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.

7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling; in you there is no flaw.
