Song of Solomon 7

Admiration by the Bridegroom

1 ^{▼▼ Ch 7:2 in Heb}“How beautiful are your ^{▼▼ Lit footsteps}feet in sandals,
O ^{▼▼ Or nobleman’s
,} ^dprince’s daughter!
The curves of your hips are like ^{▼▼ Or ornaments}jewels,
The work of the hands of an artist.
2 “Your navel is like a round goblet
Which never lacks mixed wine;
Your belly is like a heap of wheat
Fenced about with lilies.
3 “Your ^ftwo breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle.
4 “Your ^gneck is like a tower of ivory,
Your eyes like the pools in ^hHeshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
Which faces toward Damascus.
5 “Your head ^{▼▼ Lit is upon}crowns you like ^jCarmel,
And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.
6 “How ^kbeautiful and how delightful you are,
^{▼▼ Or With love among your delights} My love, with all your charms!
7 ^{▼▼ Lit This stature of yours}“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 take hold of its fruit stalks.’
Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
And the fragrance of your ^{▼▼ Lit nose}breath like ^{▼▼ Or apricots
,} ^papples,
9 And your ^{▼▼ Lit palate
,} ^rmouth like the best wine!”
^{▼▼ BRIDE}“It ^tgoes down smoothly for my beloved,

Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.

The Union of Love

10 ^u“I am my beloved’s,
And his ^vdesire is for me.
11 “Come, my beloved, let us go out into the ^{▼▼ Lit field}country,
Let us spend the night in the villages.
12 “Let us rise early and go to the vineyards;
Let us ^xsee whether the vine has budded
And its blossoms have opened,
And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I will give you my love.
13 “The ^ymandrakes have given forth fragrance;
And over our doors are all ^zchoice fruits,
Both new and old,
Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.
