Kidung Agung 2:3

Kidung Agung 5:10-16

The Beloved to the Maidens:

5:10 My beloved⁹ is dazzling¹⁰ and ruddy;¹¹

he stands out¹² in comparison to¹³ all other men.¹⁴

5:11 His head is like the most pure gold.¹⁵

His hair is curly¹⁶ – black like a raven.

5:12 His eyes are like doves by streams of water,

washed in milk, mounted like jewels.

5:13 His cheeks are like garden beds full of balsam trees¹⁷ yielding¹⁸ perfume.

His lips are like lilies dripping with drops of myrrh.

5:14 His arms are like rods of gold set with chrysolite.

His abdomen¹⁹ is like polished ivory inlaid with sapphires.

5:15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold.

His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.

5:16 His mouth is very sweet;²⁰

he is totally desirable.²¹

This is my beloved!

This is my companion, O maidens of Jerusalem!

Zakharia 9:17

9:17 How precious and fair!²⁶ Grain will make the young men flourish and new wine the young women.

Filipi 3:8-9

3:8 More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things – indeed, I regard them as dung!²⁷ – that I may gain Christ, 3:9 and be found in him, not because I have my own righteousness derived from the law, but because I have the righteousness that comes by way of Christ’s faithfulness²⁸ – a righteousness from God that is in fact²⁹ based on Christ’s³⁰ faithfulness.³¹

Wahyu 5:11-13

5:11 Then³² I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their³³ number was ten thousand times ten thousand³⁴ – thousands times thousands – 5:12 all of whom³⁵ were singing³⁶ in a loud voice:

“Worthy is the lamb who was killed³⁷

to receive power and wealth

and wisdom and might

and honor and glory and praise!”

5:13 Then³⁸ I heard every creature – in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them – singing:³⁹

“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb

be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power⁴⁰ forever and ever!”
