Lilies

Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.

I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. …

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

His cheeks are like beds of spice, towers of perfume. His lips are like lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh.

It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.
