Song of Solomon 7:1–9
1 “1How beautiful are your 2feet in sandals,
The curves of your hips are like 4jewels,
The work of the hands of an artist.
2 “Your navel is like a round goblet
Which never lacks mixed wine;
Your belly is like a heap of wheat
Fenced about with lilies.
3 “Your atwo breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle.
4 “Your aneck is like a tower of ivory,
Your eyes like the pools in bHeshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
Which faces toward Damascus.
5 “Your head 1crowns you like aCarmel,
And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.
6 “How abeautiful and how delightful you are,
1My love, with all your charms!
7 “1Your stature is like a palm tree,
And your breasts are like its clusters.
8 “I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree,
I will take hold of its fruit stalks.’
Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
And the fragrance of your 1breath like 2aapples,
9 And your 1amouth like the best wine!”
“2It bgoes down smoothly for my beloved,
Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.
