9 Kings’ daughters are among your honored women; the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir, stands at your right hand.
10 Listen, daughter, pay attention and consider: forget your people and your father’s house,
11 and the king will desire your beauty. Bow down to him, for he is your lord.
12 The daughter of Tyre, the wealthy people, will seek your favor with gifts.
13 In her chamber, the royal daughter is all glorious, her clothing embroidered with gold.
14 In colorful garments she is led to the king; after her, the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.
