Song of Solomon 7:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory;
your eyes are pools in Heshbon at the gate of Beth Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking out over Damascus.[a]
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel;[b][c]
the flowing locks of your head are like purple tapestry;[d]
a king is held captive in the tresses!
