Song of Solomon 7:7-13 ▼

7 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 seize its fruit stalks.’ Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of your breath like apples,

9 And your mouth like the best wine!” “It goes down smoothly for my beloved, Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep.

10 “I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me.

11 Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields, Let us spend the night in the villages.

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

13 The mandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all choice fruits, Both new and old, Which I have treasured up for you, my beloved.
