Song of Solomon 7
1 How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skilful workman.
Your steps are beautiful in shoes, O daughter of the prince: the joints of [your] thighs are like chains, the work of the craftsman.
2 Thy body is a round goblet, no mingled wine is wanting. Thy waist is a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Your navel is [as] a turned bowl, not lacking liquor; your belly is [as] a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3 Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe.
Your two breasts are as two twin fawns.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of ivory. Thine eyes, the pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.
Your neck is as an ivory tower; your eyes are as pools in Esebon, by the gates of the daughter of many: your nose is as the tower of Libanus, looking toward Damascus.
5 Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thy head like purple. The king is held captive in the tresses.
Your head upon you is as Carmel, and the curls of your hair like scarlet; the king is bound in the galleries.
6 How fair and how pleasant thou are, O love, for delights!
How beautiful are you, and how sweet are you, [my] love!
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to its clusters.
This is your greatness in your delights: you were made like a palm tree, and your breasts to cluster.
8 I said, I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of the branches of it. Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples,
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its high boughs: and now shall your breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of your nose of apples;
9 and thy mouth like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips and teeth.
and your throat as good wine, going well with my kinsman, suiting my lips and teeth.
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
I am my kinsman's, and his desire is toward me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field. Let us lodge in the villages.
Come, my kinsman, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards. Let us see whether the vine has budded, its blossom is open, the pomegranates are in flower. There I will give thee my love.
Let us go early into the vineyards; let us see if the vine has flowered, [if] the blossoms have appeared, if the pomegranates have blossomed; there will I give you my breasts.
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance. And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
The mandrakes have given a smell, and at our doors [are] all kinds of choice fruits, new and old. O my kinsman, I have kept [them] for you.
