How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess! no

The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,

the handiwork of a master.

2Your navel is a rounded bowl;

it never lacks mixed wine.

Your waist pis a mound of wheat

surrounded by lilies.

3Your breasts are like two fawns,

twins of a gazelle. q

4Your neck is like a tower of ivory, r

your eyes like pools in Heshbon

by the gate of Bath-rabbim.

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon

looking toward Damascus.

5Your head crowns you slike Mount Carmel,

the hair of your head like purple cloth—

a king could be held captive tin your tresses.

6How beautiful you are and how pleasant, u

my love, with such delights!

7Your stature is like a palm tree;

your breasts are clusters of fruit.

8I said, “I will climb the palm tree

and take hold of its fruit.” v

May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,

and the fragrance of your breath like apricots. w

9Your mouth xis like fine wine y—

Wflowing smoothly for my love,

gliding past my lips and teeth! z

10I belong to my love,

and his desire ais for me. b

Read in Logos
Song of Solomon 7:10: I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.
