Song of Solomon 7:7-9
World English Bible
7 This, your stature, is like a palm tree,
your breasts like its fruit.
8 I said, “I will climb up into the palm tree.
I will take hold of its fruit.”
Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
the smell of your breath like apples.
9 Your mouth is like the best wine,
that goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.
Song of Solomon 7:7-9
American Standard Version
7 This thy stature is like to a palm-tree,
And thy breasts to its clusters.
8 I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree,
I will take hold of the branches thereof:
Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine,
And the smell of thy [a]breath like apples,
9 And thy [b]mouth like the best wine,
That goeth down [c]smoothly for my beloved,
[d]Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.
