Charles Ellicott Commentary Song Of Solomon 5:16

"His mouth is most sweet; Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." — Song Of Solomon 5:16 (ASV)

His mouth is most sweet. —Literally, his palate is sweetnesses, i.e., his voice is exquisitely sweet. The features have already been described, and chek, the palate, is used for the organ of speech and speech itself (Job 6:30; Proverbs 5:3).
