Song of Songs 7:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 M How beautiful are your feet in sandals,[a]
O noble daughter!
Your curving thighs like jewels,
the product of skilled hands.
3 Your valley,[b] a round bowl
that should never lack mixed wine.
Your belly, a mound of wheat,
encircled with lilies.
4 (A)Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
Footnotes
- 7:2–6 Another description of the woman’s charms. Sandals: the woman’s sandaled foot was apparently considered quite seductive (Jdt 16:9). Noble: a possible connection to the enigmatic “prince” of 6:12. Curving…jewels: the meaning of these Hebrew words is not certain. Wine and wheat suggest fertility.
- 7:3 Valley: lit., navel; a discreet allusion to her sex.

2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts(A) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.(B)
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon(C)
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon(D)
looking toward Damascus.
