Song of Solomon 7:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 [a]Your stature is like a palm tree,
And your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree,
I will grasp its fruit stalks.’
Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
And the fragrance of your [b]breath like (A)apples,
9 And your [c](B)mouth like the best wine!”
The Bride
“It (C)goes down smoothly for my beloved,
Flowing gently through the lips of those who are asleep.
