Song of Solomon 7

BBE

GNT

1 How beautiful are your feet in their shoes, O king's daughter! The curves of your legs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a good workman:
1 What a magnificent young woman you are! How beautiful are your feet in sandals. The curve of your thighs is like the work of an artist.
2 Your stomach is a store of grain with lilies round it, and in the middle a round cup full of wine.
2 A bowl is there, that never runs out of spiced wine. A sheaf of wheat is there, surrounded by lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth.
3 Your breasts are like twin deer, like two gazelles.
4 Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your eyes like the waters in Heshbon, by the doorway of Bath-rabbim; your nose is as the tower on Lebanon looking over Damascus:
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes are like the pools in the city of Heshbon, near the gate of that great city. Your nose is as lovely as the tower of Lebanon that stands guard at Damascus.
5 Your head is like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple, in whose net the king is prisoner.
5 Your head is held high like Mount Carmel. Your braided hair shines like the finest satin; its beauty could hold a king captive.
6 How beautiful and how sweet you are, O love, for delight.
6 How pretty you are, how beautiful; how complete the delights of your love.
7 You are tall like a palm-tree, and your breasts are like the fruit of the vine.
7 You are as graceful as a palm tree, and your breasts are clusters of dates.
8 I said, Let me go up the palm-tree, and let me take its branches in my hands: your breasts will be as the fruit of the vine, and the smell of your breath like apples;
8 I will climb the palm tree and pick its fruit. To me your breasts are like bunches of grapes, your breath like the fragrance of apples,
9 And the roof of your mouth like good wine flowing down smoothly for my loved one, moving gently over my lips and my teeth.
9 and your mouth like the finest wine. Then let the wine flow straight to my lover, flowing over his lips and teeth.
10 I am for my loved one, and his desire is for me.
10 I belong to my lover, and he desires me.
11 Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.
11 Come, darling, let's go out to the countryside and spend the night in the villages.
12 Let us go out early to the vine-gardens; let us see if the vine is in bud, if it has put out its young fruit, and the pomegranate is in flower. There I will give you my love.
12 We will get up early and look at the vines to see whether they've started to grow, whether the blossoms are opening and the pomegranate trees are in bloom. There I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes give out a sweet smell, and at our doors are all sorts of good fruits, new and old, which I have kept for my loved one.
13 You can smell the scent of mandrakes, and all the pleasant fruits are near our door. Darling, I have kept for you the old delights and the new.
