Song of Songs 7 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Admiration by the Groom

Sng 7:1

[fn]How beautiful are your feet in sandals,

[fn]Prince’s daughter!

The curves of your hips are like jewels,

The work of the hands of an artist.

Sng 7:2

“Your navel is like a round goblet

That never lacks mixed wine;

Your belly is like a heap of wheat,

[fn]Surrounded with lilies.

Sng 7:3

“Your two breasts are like two fawns,

Twins of a gazelle.

Sng 7:4

“Your neck is like a tower of ivory,

Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon

By the gate of Bath-rabbim;

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,

Which looks toward Damascus.

Sng 7:5

“Your head [fn]crowns you like Carmel,

And the flowing hair of your head is like purple threads;

The king is captivated by your tresses.

Sng 7:6

“How beautiful and how delightful you are,

[fn]My love, with all your delights!

Sng 7:7

[fn]Your stature is like a palm tree,

And your breasts are like its clusters.

Sng 7:8

“I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree,

I will grasp its fruit stalks.’

Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,

And the fragrance of your [fn]breath like apples,

Sng 7:9

And your [fn]mouth like the best wine!”

The Bride

“It goes down smoothly for my beloved,

Flowing gently through the lips of those who are asleep.

The Union of Love

Sng 7:10

“I am my beloved’s,

And his desire is for me.

Sng 7:11

“Come, my beloved, let’s go out to the [fn]country,

Let’s spend the night in the villages.

Sng 7:12

“Let’s rise early and go to the vineyards;

Let’s see whether the vine has grown

And its buds have opened,

And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.

There I will give you my love.

Sng 7:13

“The mandrakes have given forth fragrance;

And over our doors are all delicious fruits,

New as well as old,

Which I have saved for you, my beloved.
