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

⁶ How beautiful and pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights! ⁷ Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. ⁸ I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its fruit. Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, ⁹ and your mouth like the best wine.It goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding over lips and teeth. ¹⁰ I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.

¹¹ Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields and lodge in the villages; ¹² let us go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. ¹³ The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and beside our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.

¹ Oh that you were like a brother to me who nursed at my mother's breasts! If I found you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me. ² I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother-- she who used to teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the juice of my pomegranate. ³ His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me! ⁴ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.
