Song of Solomon 7章 ESV

1How beautiful are your feet in sandals,

O 7:1 Ps. 45:13noble daughter!

Your rounded thighs are like 7:1 Prov. 25:12jewels,

the work of 7:1 [Prov. 8:30]a master hand.

2Your navel is a rounded bowl

that never lacks mixed wine.

Your belly is a heap of wheat,

encircled with 7:2 ch. 2:1lilies.

37:3 ch. 4:5Your two breasts are like two fawns,

twins of a gazelle.

4Your 7:4 [ch. 4:4] neck is like an ivory tower.

Your 7:4 [ch. 5:12] eyes are pools in 7:4 Num. 21:26Heshbon,

by the gate of Bath-rabbim.

Your nose is like a tower of 7:4 ch. 4:8; See 1 Kgs. 4:33Lebanon,

which looks toward 7:4 1 Kgs. 11:24; 2 Kgs. 5:12Damascus.

5Your head crowns you like 7:5 See Josh. 19:26Carmel,

and your 7:5 [ch. 4:1]flowing locks are like purple;

a king is held captive in the tresses.

67:6 [ch. 1:15, 16] How beautiful and 7:6 2 Sam. 1:23, 26pleasant you are,

O loved one, with all your delights!7:6 Or among delights

7Your stature is like a palm tree,

and your breasts are like its clusters.

8I say I will climb the palm tree

and lay hold of its fruit.

Oh may your breasts be like 7:8 [ch. 1:14; Mic. 7:1]clusters of the vine,

and the scent of your breath like apples,

9and your 7:9 [ch. 5:16]mouth7:9 Hebrew palate like the best wine.

She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,

gliding over lips and teeth.7:9 Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew causing the lips of sleepers to speak, or gliding over the lips of those who sleep

107:10 ch. 2:16; 6:3I am my beloved’s,

7:10 [Ps. 45:11]and his desire is for me.

The Bride Gives Her Love

117:11 [ch. 2:10; 4:8]Come, my beloved,

let us go out into the fields

and lodge in the villages;7:11 Or among the henna plants

12let us go out early to the vineyards

7:12 ch. 6:11and see whether the vines have budded,

whether 7:12 ch. 2:13, 15the grape blossoms have opened

and the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give you my love.

137:13 Gen. 30:14; ch. 4:13The mandrakes give forth fragrance,

and beside our doors are all choice fruits,

7:13 [Matt. 13:52]new as well as old,

which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
