Song of Songs 7:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 [a]Your stature is like a palm tree,
And your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree;
I will seize its fruit stalks.’
Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
And the fragrance of your [b]breath like [c](A)apples,
9 And your [d](B)mouth like the best wine!”
“[e]It (C)goes down smoothly for my beloved,
Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.”(A)
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,
and the fragrance of your breath like apricots.(B)
9 Your mouth[a] is like fine wine(C)—
W flowing smoothly for my love,
gliding past my lips and teeth![b]
