Song of Solomon 7

Admiration by the Bridegroom

^{Tools
1}

“^(a)How beautiful are your ^(b)feet in sandals,
O ^(c)^(A)prince’s daughter!
The curves of your hips are like ^(d)jewels,
The work of the hands of an artist.

^{Tools
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.

^{Tools
3}

“Your ^(B)two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle.

^{Tools
4}

“Your ^(C)neck is like a tower of ivory,
Your eyes like the pools in ^(D)Heshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
Which faces toward Damascus.

^{Tools
5}

“Your head ^(e)crowns you like ^(E)Carmel,
And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.

^{Tools
6}

“How ^(F)beautiful and how delightful you are,
^(f)My love, with all your charms!

^{Tools
7}

“^(g)Your stature is like a palm tree,
And your breasts are like its clusters.

^{Tools
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 ^(h)breath like ⁽ⁱ⁾^(G)apples,

^{Tools
9}

And your ^(j)^(H)mouth like the best wine!”
“^(k)It ^(I)goes down smoothly for my beloved,
Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.

The Union of Love

^{Tools
10}

“^(J)I am my beloved’s,
And his ^(K)desire is for me.

^{Tools
11}

“Come, my beloved, let us go out into the ^(l)country,
Let us spend the night in the villages.

^{Tools
12}

“Let us rise early and go to the vineyards;
Let us ^(L)see whether the vine has budded
And its blossoms have opened,
And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I will give you my love.

^{Tools
13}

“The ^(M)mandrakes have given forth fragrance;
And over our doors are all ^(N)choice fruits,
Both new and old,
Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.
