Song of Songs 7:6-Song of Songs 8:4 - Solomon Longs For The Young Woman's Affection

⁶ “How beautiful and how delightful you are,
My love, with all your charms!
⁷ “Your stature is like a palm tree,
And your breasts are like its clusters.
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 breath like apples,
⁹ And your mouth like the best wine!”
“It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep. ¹⁰ “I am my beloved’s,
And his desire is for me.

¹¹ “Come, my beloved, let us go out into the country,
Let us spend the night in the villages.
¹² “Let us rise early and go to the vineyards;
Let us see whether the vine has budded
And its blossoms have opened,
And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I will give you my love.
¹³ “The mandrakes have given forth fragrance;
And over our doors are all choice fruits,
Both new and old,
Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.

¹ “Oh that you were like a brother to me
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts.
If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you;
No one would despise me, either.
² “I would lead you and bring you
Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me;
I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates.
³ “Let his left hand be under my head
And his right hand embrace me.”
⁴ “I want you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not arouse or awaken my love
Until she pleases.”
