Song of Solomon 6:13–7:10

Others

¹³³ Return, return, O ^qShulammite,

return, return, that we may look upon you.

He

Why should you look upon ^qthe Shulammite,

as upon ^ra dance before ^stwo armies?⁴

7How 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.
