Song of Solomon 7:1–13

How beautiful are your feet in sandals,

O ^tnoble daughter!

Your rounded thighs are like ^ujewels,

the work of ^va master hand.

²Your navel is a rounded bowl

that never lacks mixed wine.

Your belly is a heap of wheat,

encircled with ^wlilies.

^3xYour two breasts are like two fawns,

twins of a gazelle.

⁴Your ^yneck is like an ivory tower.

Your ^zeyes are pools in ^aHeshbon,

by the gate of Bath-rabbim.

Your nose is like a tower of ^bLebanon,

which looks toward ^cDamascus.

⁵Your head crowns you like ^eCarmel,

and your ^fflowing locks are like purple;

a king is held captive in the tresses.

^6gHow beautiful and ^hpleasant you are,

O loved one, with all your delights!¹

⁷Your stature is like a palm tree,

and your breasts are like its clusters.

⁸I say I will climb the palm tree

and lay hold of its fruit.

Oh may your breasts be like ⁱclusters of the vine,

and the scent of your breath like apples,

⁹and your ^jmouth² like the best wine.

She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,

gliding over lips and teeth.³

^10kI am my beloved’s,

^land his desire is for me.

The Bride Gives Her Love

^11mCome, my beloved,

let us go out into the fields

and lodge in the villages;⁴

¹²let us go out early to the vineyards

ⁿand see whether the vines have budded,

whether ^othe grape blossoms have opened

and the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give you my love.

^13pThe mandrakes give forth fragrance,

and beside our doors are all choice fruits,

^qnew as well as old,

which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
