LEB - Song of Solomon - 7

7:1  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.

7:2  Your navel is ⌞a round wine-mixing bowl⌟ that does not lack mixed wine! Your belly is a heap of wheat encircled with lilies.

7:3  Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.

7:4  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⌟.

7:5  ⌞Your head crowns you like Carmel⌟; the flowing locks of your head are like ⌞purple tapestry⌟; a king is held captive in the tresses!

7:6  How beautiful you are and how pleasant, O loved one in the delights!

7:7  ⌞Your stature⌟ is like the palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters.

7:8  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.

7:9  Your palate is like the best wine that goes down for my beloved, smoothly gliding over my lips and teeth.

7:10  ⌞I belong to my beloved⌟, ⌞and he desires me⌟!

7:11  Come, my beloved, let us ⌞go out to the countryside⌟; let us spend the night in the villages.

7:12  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.

7:13  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.
