Your lips are like scarlet thread.
Your mouth is lovely.
Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Song of Solomon 4:3 in context
Song of Solomon 4:1–6
1
Behold, 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.
2
Your 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.
3
Selected verse
Your lips are like scarlet thread.
Your mouth is lovely.
Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
4
Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory,
on which a thousand shields hang,
all the shields of the mighty men.
5
Your two breasts are like two fawns
that are twins of a roe,
which feed among the lilies.
