NASB Bible

Song of Solomon 7

Admiration by the Bridegroom

1

1How beautiful are your  2feet in sandals, O  3 aprince's daughter! The curves of your hips are like  4jewels, The work of the hands of an artist.

2

"Your navel is like a round goblet Which never lacks mixed wine; Your belly is like a heap of wheat Fenced about with lilies.

3

"Your  atwo breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle.

4

"Your  aneck is like a tower of ivory, Your eyes like the pools in  bHeshbon By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, Which faces toward Damascus.

5

"Your head  1crowns you like  aCarmel, And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads; The king is captivated by your tresses.

6

"How  abeautiful and how delightful you are,  1My love, with all your charms!

7

1Your stature is like a palm tree, And your breasts are like its clusters.

8

"I said, `I will climb the palm tree, I will take hold of its fruit stalks.' Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of your  1breath like  2 aapples,

9

And your  1 amouth like the best wine!"

2It  bgoes down smoothly for my beloved, Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.

The Union of Love

10

aI am my beloved's, And his  bdesire is for me.

11

"Come, my beloved, let us go out into the  1country, Let us spend the night in the villages.

12

"Let us rise early and go to the vineyards; Let us  asee whether the vine has budded And its blossoms have opened, And whether the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love.

13

"The  amandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all  bchoice fruits, Both new and old, Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.
