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.

7 You are stately[a] as a palm tree,
and your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree
and lay hold of its branches.”
O may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,(A)
9 and your kisses[b] like the best wine
that goes down[c] smoothly,
gliding over lips and teeth.[d]
