Song of Solomon 7
1How beautiful your feet appear in your sandals, prince's daughter! 1 The curves of your thighs are like jewels, 1 the work of the hands of a master craftsman. 1
2Your navel is like a round bowl; 1 may it never lack mixed wine. 1 Your belly is like a mound of wheat 1 encircled with lilies. 1
3Your two breasts are like two fawns, 1 twins of a gazelle. 1
4Your neck is like a tower of ivory; 1 your eyes are the pools in Heshbon 1 by the gate of Bath Rabbim. 1 Your nose is like the tower in Lebanon 1 that looks toward Damascus. 1
5Your head is on you like Carmel; 1 the hair on your head is dark purple. 1 The king is held captive by its tresses. 1
6How beautiful and how lovely you are, 1 my love, with delights! + 7:6 Some versions read are, loved one, with . 1
7Your height is like that of a date palm tree, 1 and your breasts like clusters of fruit. 1
8I said, “I want to climb that palm tree; 1 I will take hold of its branches.” 1 May your breasts be like clusters of grapes, 1 and may the fragrance of your nose be like apricots. 1
9May your palate be like the best wine, 1 flowing smoothly for my beloved, 1 gliding over the lips of those who sleep. + 7:9 Some versions read over my lips and teeth . The woman speaking to the man 1
10I am my beloved's, 1 and he desires me. 1
11Come, my beloved, let us go out into the countryside; 1 let us spend the night in the villages. + 7:11 Some versions read night among the henna plants . 1
12Let us rise early to go to the vineyards; 1 let us see whether the vines have budded, 1 whether their blossoms have opened, 1 and whether the pomegranates are in flower. 1 There I will give you my love. 1
13The mandrakes give off their fragrance; 1 at the door where we are staying are all sorts of choice fruits, new and old, 1 that I have stored up for you, my beloved.
