Song of Solomon 7:8-10
New Living Translation
8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree
and take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like grape clusters,
and the fragrance of your breath like apples.
9 May your kisses be as exciting as the best wine—
Young Woman
Yes, wine that goes down smoothly for my lover,
flowing gently over lips and teeth.[a]
10 I am my lover’s,
and he claims me as his own.
Footnotes
- 7:9 As in Greek and Syriac versions and Latin Vulgate; Hebrew reads over lips of sleepers.
