Song of Solomon 7 |
| 1 |
How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter!
the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands
of a cunning workman. |
| 2 |
Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor:
thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. |
| 3 |
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. |
| 4 |
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the
fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as
the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. |
| 5 |
Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine
head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. |
| 6 |
How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for
delights! |
| 7 |
This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to
clusters of grapes. |
| 8 |
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of
the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of
the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; |
| 9 |
And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved,
that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are
asleep to speak. |
| 10 |
I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. |
| 11 |
Come, my beloved, 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 if the vine
flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates
bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. |
| 13 |
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner
of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O
my beloved. |
