Song of Solomon 6:13-7:9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

^13 [a]Y Come back, come back, Shulammite!^[b][c]
Come back, come back, that we may look at you!

M Why are you looking at the Shulammite,
as you look at the dance^(A) of the two camps?^[d](B)
7 How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess!^[e](C)
The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,
the handiwork of a master.
² Your navel is a rounded bowl;
it never lacks mixed wine.
Your waist^[f] is a mound of wheat
surrounded by lilies.
³ Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.^(D)
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory,^(E)
your eyes like pools in Heshbon
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking toward Damascus.
⁵ Your head crowns you^[g] like Mount Carmel,
the hair of your head like purple cloth—
a king could be held captive^(F) in your tresses.
⁶ How beautiful you are and how pleasant,^(G)
my love, with such delights!
⁷ Your stature is like a palm tree;
your breasts are clusters of fruit.
⁸ I said, “I will climb the palm tree
and take hold of its fruit.”^(H)
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,
and the fragrance of your breath like apricots.^(I)
9 Your mouth^[h] is like fine wine^(J)—

W flowing smoothly for my love,
gliding past my lips and teeth!^[i]
