Song of Solomon 7

1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals, prince's daughter. Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skillful workman.

As the chorus of 'Mahanaim.' How beautiful were thy feet with sandals, O daughter of Nadib. The turnings of thy sides [are] as ornaments, Work of the hands of an artificer.

2 Your body is like a round goblet, no mixed wine is wanting. Your waist is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.

Thy waist [is] a basin of roundness, It lacketh not the mixture, Thy body a heap of wheat, fenced with lilies,

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

Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,

4 Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.

Thy neck as a tower of the ivory, Thine eyes pools in Heshbon, near the gate of Bath-Rabbim, Thy face as a tower of Lebanon looking to Damascus,

5 Your head on you is like Carmel. The hair of your head like purple. The king is held captive in its tresses.

Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as purple, The king is bound with the flowings!

6 How beautiful and how pleasant you are, love, for delights.

How fair and how pleasant hast thou been, O love, in delights.

7 This, your stature, is like a palm tree, your breasts like its fruit.

This thy stature hath been like to a palm, And thy breasts to clusters.

8 I said, "I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit." Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the smell of your breath like apples,

I said, 'Let me go up on the palm, Let me lay hold on its boughs, Yea, let thy breasts be, I pray thee, as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy face as citrons,

9 Your mouth like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding over my lips and my teeth.

And thy palate as the good wine — 'Flowing to my beloved in uprightness, Strengthening the lips of the aged!

10 I am my beloved's. His desire is toward me.

I [am] my beloved's, and on me [is] his desire.

11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field. Let us lodge in the villages.

Come, my beloved, we go forth to the field,

12 Let's go early up to the vineyards. Let's see whether the vine has budded, its blossom is open, and the pomegranates are in flower. There I will give you my love.

We lodge in the villages, we go early to the vineyards, We see if the vine hath flourished, The sweet smelling-flower hath opened. The pomegranates have blossomed, There do I give to thee my loves;

13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance. At our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old, which I have stored up for you, my beloved.

The mandrakes have given fragrance, And at our openings all pleasant things, New, yea, old, my beloved, I laid up for thee!
