Song of Solomon 7:6-13
English Standard Version
6 (A)How beautiful and (B)pleasant you are,
O loved one, with all your delights![a]
7 Your stature is like a palm tree,
and your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I say I will climb the palm tree
and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be like (C)clusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,
9 and your (D)mouth[b] like the best wine.
She
It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth.[c]
The Bride Gives Her Love
11 (G)Come, my beloved,
let us go out into the fields
and lodge in the villages;[d]
12 let us go out early to the vineyards
(H)and see whether the vines have budded,
whether (I)the grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
13 (J)The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
(K)new as well as old,
which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
