Song of Solomon 5:16

A church father on this verse
“The pure soul revolves around this, contemplates it, and sees God, and abounds in all good things. Therefore, it says: The throat sweetens, and the whole desire. For God is the author of all good things, and whatever exists, all of it indeed belongs to Him.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — On Isaac and the Soul 7.61

14His hands are as turned gold set with beryl: His belly is an ivory tablet on a sapphire stone.

15His legs are marble pillars set on golden sockets: His form is as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.
