Song of Solomon 7




1.  How beautiful * are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter ! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

2.  Thy navel is like a round goblet,which wanteth * not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about * with lilies.

3.  Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

4.  Thy neck is as a tower of ivory;thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh * toward Damascus.

5.  Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held * in the galleries.

6.  How fair * and how pleasant * art thou, O love, for delights !

7.  This thy stature is like * to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

8.  I said * , I will go up * to the palm tree, I will take hold * of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;

9.  And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth * down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak * .

10.  I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

11.  Come * , my beloved, let us go forth * into the field; let us lodge * in the villages.

12.  Let us get up early * to the vineyards;let us see * if the vine flourish * , whether the tender grape appear * , and the pomegranates bud forth * : there will I give * thee my loves.

13.  The mandrakes give * a smell,and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up * for thee, O my beloved.
