Song of Solomon 7:1-9

Common English Bible

7 How graceful are your sandaled feet,
        willing woman!
The smooth curves of your thighs—like fine jewelry,
        the work of an artist’s hands!
² Your navel, cupped like the full moon—
        may it never lack spiced wine!
Your belly is a mound of winnowed wheat
        edged with lilies.
³ Your two breasts are like two fawns,
        twins of a gazelle doe;
⁴     your neck, like a tower of ivory;
        your eyes, pools in Heshbon,
            by the gate of that lordly city.^[a]
Your profile is like the tower of Lebanon,
        looking out toward Damascus.
⁵ Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
        and your hair, braided in royal purple—
            a king is bound by the tresses!
⁶ You are so beautiful, so lovely—
        my love, delightful one!^[b]
7 Your stately form resembles a date palm,
        and your breasts are like clustered fruit.
⁸ I say, “I will climb the palm tree;
        I will hold its fruit!”

May your breasts be now
        like grape clusters,
and the scent of your breath like apples!
⁹         Your palate is like excellent wine . . .
