Bible verse
How is your beloved better than others, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another, that you charge us so?
Song of Solomon 5:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Song of Solomon 5.
5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My heart sank at his departure. I sought him, but did not find him. I called, but he did not answer.
7 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city. They beat me and bruised me; they took away my cloak, those guardians of the walls.
8 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you, if you find my beloved, tell him I am sick with love.
9 How is your beloved better than others, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another, that you charge us so?
10 My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
11 His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves beside the streams of water, bathed in milk and mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks are like beds of spice, towers of perfume. His lips are like lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh.
