I will take hold of its branches.”
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
The fragrance of your1 breath like apples,
The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved,
1Moving gently the2 lips of sleepers.
The Shulamite
Let us asee if the vine has budded,
Whether the grape blossoms are open,
And the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
And at our gates bare pleasant fruits,
All manner, new and old,
Which I have laid up for you, my beloved.

What Does Song of Solomon 7:10 Mean?
Song of Solomon 7:10-13
This young woman is full of the love for her husband, and her marriage is so satisfying that she feels complete freedom to initiate love. Her sexual desire has a free and lawful outlet to it. She is burning with desire to be with him, and that is the point. Solomon is writing here of the love of the church for Jesus Christ, and there is passion in those who are doing . . . what? She seeks to have experiences with Him! Nobody else matters. She desires Him.
