Song of Solomon 6:13-7:6
English Standard Version
Others
He
7 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
O (E)noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like (F)jewels,
the work of (G)a master hand.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl
that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
encircled with (H)lilies.
3 (I)Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your (J)neck is like an ivory tower.
Your (K)eyes are pools in (L)Heshbon,
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of (M)Lebanon,
which looks toward (N)Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like (O)Carmel,
and your (P)flowing locks are like purple;
a king is held captive in the tresses.

Common English Bible
Graceful dancer
[Man]
13 [a] Come back, come back, Shulammite![b]
Come back, come back, so we may admire you.
How you all admire the Shulammite
as she whirls between two circles of dancers!
7 How graceful are your sandaled feet,
willing woman!
The smooth curves of your thighs—like fine jewelry,
the work of an artist’s hands!
2 Your navel, cupped like the full moon—
may it never lack spiced wine!
Your belly is a mound of winnowed wheat
edged with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle doe;
4 your neck, like a tower of ivory;
your eyes, pools in Heshbon,
by the gate of that lordly city.[c]
Your profile is like the tower of Lebanon,
looking out toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
and your hair, braided in royal purple—
a king is bound by the tresses!
6 You are so beautiful, so lovely—
my love, delightful one![d]
