Song of Songs 7 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Sng 7:1

Sng 7:1How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.

Sng 7:2

Sng 7:2Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.

Sng 7:3

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

Sng 7:4

Sng 7:4Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rab'bim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.

Sng 7:5

Sng 7:5Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.

Sng 7:6

Sng 7:6How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden!

Sng 7:7

Sng 7:7You are stately as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.

Sng 7:8

Sng 7:8I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples,

Sng 7:9

Sng 7:9and your kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.

The Union of Love

Sng 7:10

Sng 7:10I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.

Sng 7:11

Sng 7:11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages;

Sng 7:12

Sng 7:12let 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.

Sng 7:13

Sng 7:13The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
