Song of Songs 2:2
Douay-Rheims
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Rashi
As a rose among the thorns which pierce it, but it remains constant in its beauty and its redness, so is my beloved among the daughters. They entice her to pursue them to stray like them after strange gods, but she remains firm in her faith.
