Song of Songs 7   

1 How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess! B,u

The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,

the handiwork of a master.

2   Your navel is a rounded bowl;

it never lacks mixed wine.

Your belly is a mound of wheat

surrounded by lilies.

3   Your breasts are like two fawns,

twins of a gazelle. v

4   Your neck is like a tower of ivory, w

your eyes like pools in Heshbon

by Bath-rabbim’s gate.

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon

looking toward Damascus.

5   Your head crowns you C like Mount Carmel,

the hair of your head like purple cloth—

a king could be held captive x in your tresses.

6   How beautiful you are and how pleasant, y

my love, with such delights!

7   Your stature is like a palm tree;

your breasts are clusters of fruit.

8   I said, “I will climb the palm tree

and take hold of its fruit.” z

May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,

and the fragrance of your breath like apricots. a

9   Your mouth D is like fine wine b

Woman

flowing smoothly for my love,

gliding past my lips and teeth! E

10   I am my love’s,

and his desire c is for me. d

11   Come, my love,

let’s go to the field;

let’s spend the night among the henna blossoms. F

12   Let’s go early to the vineyards;

let’s see if the vine has budded,

if the blossom has opened,

if the pomegranates are in bloom. e

There I will give you my caresses.

13   The mandrakes f give off a fragrance,

and at our doors is every delicacy,

both new and old.

I have treasured them up for you, my love.
