Song of Solomon 7

1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
O a noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like b jewels,
the work of c a master hand.
 2 Your navel is a rounded bowl
that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
encircled with d lilies.
 3  e Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
 4 Your f neck is like an ivory tower.
Your g eyes are pools in h Heshbon,
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of i Lebanon,
which looks toward j Damascus.
 5 Your head crowns you like k Carmel,
and your l flowing locks are like purple;
a king is held captive in the tresses.
 6  m How beautiful and n pleasant you are,
O loved one, with all your delights! ▼
▼ Or among delights

 7 Your stature is like a palm tree,
and your breasts are like its clusters.
 8 I say I will climb the palm tree
and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be like p clusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,
 9 and your q mouth ▼
▼ Hebrew palate
 like the best wine.

She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth. ▼
▼ Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew causing the lips of sleepers to speak

 10  t I am my beloved’s,
u and his desire is for me.

The Bride Gives Her Love

11  v Come, my beloved,
let us go out into the fields
and lodge in the villages; ▼
▼ Or among the henna plants

 12 let us go out early to the vineyards
x and see whether the vines have budded,
whether y the grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
 13  z The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
aa new as well as old,
which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
