Song of Solomon 7 WBT
Summary: The beloved offers a third wasf, this time moving upward from the woman's feet and thighs to her navel, waist, breasts, neck, eyes, nose, head, and flowing hair, comparing her stature to a palm tree he intends to climb, her breasts to its clusters, and her mouth to the best wine. The woman answers eagerly, declaring the wine should flow smoothly for her beloved, and inviting him to go out with her to the vineyards and villages to see whether the vines have budded, where she will give him her love. She mentions mandrakes giving forth fragrance and fruits both new and old that she has stored up for him at their doors.
1How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs [are] like jewels, the work of the hands of a skillful workman.
2Thy navel [is like] a round goblet, [which] wanteth not liquor: thy belly [is like] a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes [that are] twins.
4Thy neck [is] as a tower of ivory; thy eyes [like] the fish-pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose [is] as the tower of Lebanon which looketh towards Damascus.
5Thy head upon thee [is] like Carmel, and the hair of thy head like purple; the king [is] held in the galleries.
6How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters [of grapes].
8I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its boughs: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
9And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth [down] sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
10I [am] my beloved's, and his desire [is] towards me.
11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourisheth, [whether] the tender grape appeareth, [and] the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
13The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates [are] all manner of pleasant [fruits], new and old, [which] I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
