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

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.

¹ {How I wish that you were my little brother}, [who] nursed {upon my mother's breasts}! [If] {I met you outside}, I would kiss you, {and no one would despise me}! ² {I would surely bring you} to the house of my mother, {who would surely teach me}; {I would give you spiced wine to drink}, the {sweet wine} of my pomegranates. ³ His left [hand is] under my head, and his right [hand] embraces me. ⁴ I adjure you, {O maidens of Jerusalem}, do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases!
