Clarke's Song-of-solomon 4:3 Bible Commentary
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet - Both lips and cheeks were ruddy; sicut fragmen mali punici - Vulgate. Like the section of a pomegranate, that side cut off on which is the finest blush. This is a good and apt metaphor. But the inside may be referred to, as it is finely streaked with red and white melting into each other. She had beautiful hair, beautiful eyes, beautiful cheeks and lips, and a most pleasing and dulcet voice.
Within thy locks - See on Sol 4:1((note), and Sol 4:7 (note).
Barnes's Song-of-solomon 4:3 Bible Commentary
Thy speech is comely - Perhaps, "thy mouth," i. e., the organ of speech.
Wesley's Song-of-solomon 4:3 Bible Commentary
4:3 Thy speech - Which is added as another ingredient of an amiable person; and to explain the foregoing metaphor. The discourse of believers is edifying and comfortable, and acceptable to God, and to serious men.Temples - Under which he comprehends the cheeks. Pomegranate - In which there is a lovely mixture of red and white.
