“Your lips are like scarlet thread.Your mouth is lovely.Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.”
Song of Solomon 4:3 (WEB)
Context Reading
1Behold, you are beautiful, my love.Behold, you are beautiful.Your eyes are like doves behind your veil.Your hair is as a flock of goats,that descend from Mount Gilead. 2Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock,which have come up from the washing,where every one of them has twins.None is bereaved among them. 3Your lips are like scarlet thread.Your mouth is lovely.Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil. 4Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory,on which a thousand shields hang,all the shields of the mighty men. 5Your two breasts are like two fawnsthat are twins of a roe,which feed among the lilies.
