Song of Solomon 7

English Standard Version (ESV)

Switch Version:

¹ How beautiful are your feet in sandals, Oⓐ noble daughter! Your rounded thighs are likeⓑ jewels, the work ofⓒ a master hand.

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

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

⁴ Yourⓕ neck is like an ivory tower. Yourⓖ eyes are pools inⓗ Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like a tower ofⓘ Lebanon, which looks towardⓙ Damascus.

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

⁶ ⓜ How beautiful andⓝ pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights![1]

⁷ Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.

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

⁹ and yourⓟ mouth[2] like the best wine. She It goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding over lips and teeth.[3]

¹⁰ ⓠ I am my beloved's, ⓡand his desire is for me.

¹¹ ⓢ Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields and lodge in the villages;[4]

¹² let 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.

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