Song of Solomon 2:2 - Like a lily among thorns is my darling

Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.

As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

Like a lily among the thorns, So is my darling among the maidens.

Song of Solomon 2:2

Commentary

Solomon tells his love that she stands out from amongst other women, who are less deserving of his praise and affection, as much as a lily stands out from amongst the thorns.

Scripture mentions the lily more often than any other type of flower.
