Song of Solomon 7:7-9
New King James Version
7 This stature of yours is like a palm tree,
And your breasts like its clusters.
8 I said, “I will go up to the palm tree,
I will take hold of its branches.”
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
The fragrance of your [a]breath like apples,
9 And the roof of your mouth like the best wine.

Song of Solomon 7:7-9
American Standard Version
7 This thy stature is like to a palm-tree,
And thy breasts to its clusters.
8 I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree,
I will take hold of the branches thereof:
Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine,
And the smell of thy [a]breath like apples,
9 And thy [b]mouth like the best wine,
That goeth down [c]smoothly for my beloved,
[d]Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.
