His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
The hands like gold rings set with beryl and the body like bright ivory overlaid with sapphires portray Jesus as supreme above multitudes, the chiefest among ten thousand, and as altogether lovely. Self is to be put out of sight so that Jesus alone appears. He is to be clung to as the Mighty One and to be lived in. His promises are to be held fast and proved by bearing the whole weight upon them. Work is to be done in God and hearts are to be given to God early, because the hours of probation are short at best.
