Song of Solomon 7:7-13 ▼

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 grasp 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 are asleep.

10 “I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me.

11 “Come, my beloved, let’s go out to the country, Let’s spend the night in the villages.

12 “Let’s rise early and go to the vineyards; Let’s see whether the vine has grown And its buds have opened, And whether the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love.

13 “The mandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all delicious fruits, New as well as old, Which I have saved for you, my beloved.
