Song of Solomon 1:10

Song of Solomon 1:10. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

Christ here praises his Church. Orientals were in the habit of wearing jewels in such abundance that their cheeks were covered with them, and then they multiplied the chains of gold upon their necks; and the graces which Christ gives to his people, and especially the various parts of his own finished work, become to them like rows of jewels and chains of gold.
