The Song of Solomon 7
- 1How beautiful are your feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! The joints of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skilled workman.
- 2Your navel is like a round goblet, which does not lack wine. Your belly is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
- 3Your two breasts are like two young deer that are twins.
- 4Your neck is as a tower of ivory. Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.
- 5Your head on you is like Carmel, and the hair of your head like purple. The king is held in the galleries.
- 6How fair and how pleasant are you, O love, for delights!
- 7This your height is like a palm tree, and your breasts to clusters of grapes.
- 8I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its branches. Now also your breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of your nose like apples.
- 9And the roof of your mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goes down sweetly, causing the lips of those who are asleep to speak.
- 10I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
- 11Come, my beloved, let us go out into the field. Let us stay in the villages.
- 12Let us get up early to the vineyards. Let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates sprout. There I will give you my loves.
- 13The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are every kind of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
