Song of Solomon 5:12 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.

The Church now describes the eyes of her, beloved. Blessed it is to know that Jesus's eye is upon all his people, and with the love and meekness of the dove. Perhaps the influences of his Holy Spirit may be here intended by the allusion. And as the Holy Ghost is frequently set forth under the similitude of rivers and waters; so his gifts are said to be as by the rivers. Sweet thought here again suggested! Jesus never loseth sight of his people; and he will be to them as a well of living water, and streams from Lebanon.
