7:1 "How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! The curves of your hips are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist. |
7:2 "Your navel is {like} a round goblet Which never lacks mixed wine; Your belly is like a heap of wheat Fenced about with lilies. |
7:3 "Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle. |
7:4 "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. |
7:5 "Your head crowns you like Carmel, And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads; {The} king is captivated by {your} tresses. |
7:6 "How beautiful and how delightful you are, {My} love, with {all} your charms! |
7:7 "Your stature is like a palm tree, And your breasts are {like its} clusters. |
7:8 "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 breath like apples, |
7:9 And your mouth like the best wine! "It goes {down} smoothly for my beloved, Flowing gently {through} the lips of those who fall asleep." |
7:10 "I am my beloved's, And his desire is for me. |
7:11 "Come, my beloved, let us go out into the country, Let us spend the night in the villages. |
7:12 "Let us rise early {and go} to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine has budded {And its} blossoms have opened, {And whether} the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love. |
7:13 "The mandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all choice {fruits,} Both new and old, Which I have saved up for you, my beloved. |
