Scripture focus

1. How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs [are] like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. 2. Thy navel [is like] a round goblet, [which] wanteth not liquor: thy belly [is like] an heap of wheat set about with lilies. 3. Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes [that are] twins. 4. Thy neck [is] as a tower of ivory; thine eyes [like] the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose [is] as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. 5. Thine head upon thee [is] like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king [is] held in the galleries.

Theological / Devotional

How beautiful. Verses 1–5 are a laudation, probably by the ladies who are looking on, although many consider that the words are spoken by Solomon.

Like jewels. The emphasis is probably on the jewels that she now wears.
