Song of Songs 7

LEB(i) 1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O royal princess!* The curves of your thighs* are like jewels,* the work of the hands of a craftsman. 2 Your navel is a round wine-mixing bowl* that does not lack mixed* wine! Your belly is a heap of wheat encircled with lilies. 3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. 4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory; your eyes are pools in Heshbon at the gate of Beth Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking out over Damascus.* 5 Your head crowns you like Carmel;** the flowing locks of your head are like purple tapestry;* a king is held captive in the tresses! 6 How beautiful you are and how pleasant, O loved one in the delights! 7 Your stature* is like the palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters. 8 I say, "I will climb up the palm tree; I will lay hold of its fruit clusters." Let your breasts be pleasing like clusters of the vine and the scent of your breath like the apples. 9 Your palate is like the best wine that goes down for my beloved, smoothly gliding over my lips and teeth.* 10 I belong to my beloved,* and he desires me!* 11 Come, my beloved, let us go out to the countryside;* let us spend the night* in the villages. 12 Let us rise early to go* to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine has budded,* whether the grape blossom has opened, and whether the pomegranates are in bloom;* there I will give my love to you. 13 The mandrakes give off their fragrance, and over our doorway is every kind of delicious fruit;* both fresh and dried fruit I have stored up* for you, O my beloved.
