The Song of Songs 1:16

16: What a lovely, pleasant sight you are, my love, as we lie here on the grass,

And compared to other youths, my lover is like the finest apple tree in the orchard. I am seated in his delightful shade, and his fruit is delicious to eat.

You are the most handsome of all. Gracious words stream from your lips. God himself has blessed you forever.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ

My lover is dark and dazzling, better than ten thousand others!
His head is the finest gold, and his hair is wavy and black.
His eyes are like doves beside brooks of water; they are set like jewels.
His cheeks are like sweetly scented beds of spices. His lips are like perfumed lilies. His breath is like myrrh.
His arms are like round bars of gold, set with chrysolite. His body is like bright ivory, aglow with sapphires.

Look, it is Solomons carriage, with sixty of Israels mightiest men surrounding it.

How wonderful and beautiful they will be! The young men and women will thrive on the abundance of grain and new wine.

In that day of battle, your people will serve you willingly. Arrayed in holy garments, your vigor will be renewed each day like the morning dew.

Then I looked again, and I heard the singing of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and the living beings and the elders.
And they sang in a mighty chorus: "The Lamb is worthy--the Lamb who was killed. He is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."
And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They also sang: "Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever."
