Song of Solomon 7:6-9
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]
