1 How beautiful are your feet in the sandals, O daughter of a noble! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of an artisan. 2 Your navel is a bowl of roundness—it is not lacking in mixed wine. Your belly is a mound of wheat, fenced around with the lilies. 3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. 4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes are the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, looking to the face of Damascus. 5 Your head is upon you like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple—a king is bound in the tresses! 6 How beautiful and how pleasant, O my love, in your delights! 7 This stature of yours is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters of fruit. 8 I said, “I will go up on the palm tree, I will grab hold of its boughs.” And may your breasts be now like the clusters of the vine, and the fragrance of your breath like the apples, 9 and your mouth like wine of the best. It is flowing to my beloved smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth. Song of Solomon 7:1-9, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
