Song of Solomon 7:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Your stature[a] is like a palm tree,
and your breasts are like clusters of fruit.[b]
8 I told myself, “I’ll go up the palm tree,
and take hold of its fruit.
May your breasts be like clusters of the vine,[c]
and the smell of your breath like apples.[d]

May it go down smoothly to my beloved,
gliding gently over the lips of the sleeping ones.

Song of Solomon 7:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 Your stature[a] is like the palm tree,
and your breasts are like clusters.
8 I say, “I will climb up the palm tree;
I will lay hold of its fruit clusters.”
Let your breasts be pleasing like clusters of the vine
and the scent of your breath like the apples.
9 Your palate is like the best wine that goes down for my beloved,
smoothly gliding over my lips and teeth.[b]
Notas al pie
- Song of Solomon 7:7 Literally “this your height”
- Song of Solomon 7:9 Or “over lips of sleepers.” One Hebrew textual tradition preserves the reading “lips of those who sleep” (MT). Another Hebrew tradition reads “my lips and my teeth,” as reflected by the ancient versions (LXX, Latin Vulgate, Aramaic Targum, Syriac Peshitta). The latter is adopted here since it makes the most sense poetically
