11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.
11 We will make for you
11 I'm making jewelry for you, gold and silver jewelry that will mark and accent your beauty.
11 The Daughters of Jerusalem We will make you
11 We will make for you earrings of gold and beads of silver.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Song of Solomon 1:11
Commentary on Song of Solomon 1:9-17
(Read Song of Solomon 1:9-17)
The Bridegroom gives high praises of his spouse. In the sight of Christ believers are the excellent of the earth, fitted to be instruments for promoting his glory. The spiritual gifts and graces which Christ bestows on every true believer, are described by the ornaments then in use, verse 16, speaks with praise of those holy ordinances in which true believers have fellowship with Christ. Whether the believer is in the courts of the Lord, or in retirement; whether following his daily labours, or confined on the bed of sickness, or even in a dungeon, a sense of the Divine presence will turn the place into a paradise. Thus the soul, daily having fellowship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, enjoys a lively hope of an incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading inheritance above.
