13 His cheeks(A) are like beds of spice,
towers of[a] perfume.
His lips are lilies,
dripping with flowing myrrh.(B)
14 His arms[b] are rods of gold
set[c] with topaz.[d](C)
His body[e] is an ivory panel
covered with sapphires.(D)
15 His legs are alabaster pillars
set on pedestals of pure gold.
His presence is like Lebanon,(E)
as majestic as the cedars.(F)
