Song of Songs 7 — Legacy Standard Bible

7“¹How beautiful are your ²feet in sandals,O ^anoble’s daughter!The curves of your thighs are like ornaments,The work of the hands of an artist.²“Your navel is like a round basinWhich never lacks mixed wine;Your belly is like a heap of wheatEncircled with lilies.³“Your ^atwo breasts are like two fawns,Twins of a gazelle.⁴“Your ^aneck is like a tower of ivory,Your eyes like the pools in ^bHeshbonBy the gate of Bath-rabbim;Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,Which faces toward Damascus.⁵“Your head ¹crowns you like ^aCarmel,And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads;The king is captivated by your tresses.⁶“How ^abeautiful and how pleasant you are,¹My love, with all your pleasures!⁷“¹Your stature is like a palm tree,And your breasts are like its clusters.⁸“I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree;I will seize its fruit stalks.’Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,And the fragrance of your ¹breath like ²^,^aapples,⁹And your ¹^,^amouth like the best wine!”“²It ^bgoes down smoothly for my beloved,Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.

The Union of Love

¹⁰“^aI am my beloved’s,And his ^bdesire is for me.¹¹“Come, my beloved, let us go out into the ¹fields,Let us spend the night in the villages.¹²“Let us rise early and go to the vineyards;Let us ^asee whether the vine has flourishedAnd its blossoms have opened,And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.There I will give you my love.¹³“The ^amandrakes have given forth fragrance;And over our doors are all ^bchoice fruits,Both new and old,Which I have treasured up for you, my beloved.
