1How beautiful are your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skillful craftsman.
2Your navel is like a round goblet, which never lacks liquor; your waist is like an heap of wheat bordered with lilies.
3Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns od a gazelle.
4Your neck is like a tower of ivory; your eyes, like the pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim; your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you is like Mount Carmel, and your hair of is like purple tapestry; the king is held captive by your tresses.
6How fair and how pleasing you are, O love, with your delights!
7Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts like clusters of grapes.
8I said, “I will climb up the palm tree, I will take hold of its fruit”. May your breasts be like grape clusters; and the fragrance of your breath like apples,
9 May your kisses be as exciting as the best wine, that goes down sweetly, gliding gently over the lips and teeth.
10I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.
11Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside; let us spend the night in the villages.
12Let us go early to the vineyards; let us see if the vines have budded, whether the tender grape appear, and if the pomegranates are in bloom. There will I give you my love.
13The mandrakes give fragrance, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have saved for you, O my beloved. Easy Reader Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2023 by Jim Musser. Used by Permission. All rights Reserved. Bible Hub |
