Song of Songs 7:5-13
New International Version
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.(A)
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the king is held captive by its tresses.
6 How beautiful(B) you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!(C)
7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
and your breasts(D) like clusters of fruit.
8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
the fragrance of your breath like apples,(E)
9 and your mouth like the best wine.
She
May the wine go straight to my beloved,(F)
flowing gently over lips and teeth.[a]
10 I belong to my beloved,
and his desire(G) is for me.(H)
11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside,
let us spend the night in the villages.[b]
12 Let us go early to the vineyards(I)
to see if the vines have budded,(J)
if their blossoms(K) have opened,
and if the pomegranates(L) are in bloom(M)—
there I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes(N) send out their fragrance,
and at our door is every delicacy,
both new and old,
that I have stored up for you, my beloved.(O)
