Song of Solomon 7:1-10

1 Your feet are beautiful in sandals, you daughter of a prince. Your round thighs are like jewels shaped by an artist.
2 Your navel is like a round drinking cup always filled with wine. Your stomach is like a pile of wheat surrounded with lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns, like twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower. near the gate of Bath Rabbim. that looks down on Damascus.
5 Your head is like Mount Carmel, and your hair is like purple cloth; the king is captured in its folds.
6 You are beautiful and pleasant; my love, you are full of delights.
7 You are tall like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its bunches of fruit.
8 I said, "I will climb up the palm tree and take hold of its fruit." Let your breasts be like bunches of grapes, the smell of your breath like apples,
9 and your mouth like the best wine. Let this wine go down sweetly for my lover; may it flow gently past the lips and teeth.
10 I belong to my lover, and he desires only me.

Song of Solomon 7:1-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 7

In this chapter Christ gives a fresh commendation of the beauty of his church, in a different order and method than before; beginning with her "feet", and so rising upwards to the "hair" of her head, and the roof of her mouth, So 7:1-9; And then the church asserts her interest in him, and his desire towards her, So 7:10; and invites him to go with her into the fields, villages, and vineyards, and offers various reasons, by which she urges him to comply with her invitation, So 7:11-13.
