Song of Solomon 7:1-9 ▼

1 “How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O noble’s daughter! The curves of your thighs are like ornaments, The work of the hands of an artist.

2 Your navel is like a round basin Which never lacks mixed wine; Your belly is like a heap of wheat Encircled with lilies.

3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle.

4 Your 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, Which faces toward Damascus.

5 Your head crowns you like Carmel, And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads; The king is captivated by your tresses.

6 How beautiful and how pleasant you are, My love, with all your pleasures!

7 Your stature is like a palm tree, And your breasts are like its clusters.

8 I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree; I will seize its fruit stalks.’ Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of your breath like apples,

9 And your mouth like the best wine!” “It goes down smoothly for my beloved, Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.
