Admiration by the Bridegroom
How beautiful are your sandaled feet,
O daughter of the prince!
The curves of your thighs are like jewels,
the handiwork of a master.Php 1:27; Jhn 1:12
Your navel is a rounded goblet;
it never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by the lilies.
Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.Sng 4:5
Your neck is like a tower
made of ivory;
your eyes are like the pools of Heshbon
by the gate of Bath-rabbim;
your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
facing toward Damascus.Sng 4:4
Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
the hair of your head like purple threads;
the king is captured in your tresses.1Th 5:8; Eph 1:22
How fair and pleasant you are,
O love, with your delights!Isa 61:10; Isa 62:5
Your stature is like a palm tree;
your breasts are clusters of fruit.Psa 92:12
I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
the fragrance of your breath like apples,Php 1:11
and your mouth 7:9 Hebrew palate like the finest wine.
The Bride
May it flow smoothly to my beloved,
gliding gently over lips and teeth.7:9 LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate; Hebrew gliding gently over lips as we sleep
I belong to my beloved,
and his desire is for me.Sng 2:16
Come, my beloved,
let us go to the countryside;
let us spend the night among the wildflowers.7:11 Or among the henna blossoms or in the villagesMat 9:35; Mat 13:38
Let us go early to the vineyards
to see if the vine has budded,
if the blossom has opened,
if the pomegranates are in bloom —
there I will give you my love.Isa 5:7
The mandrakes send forth a fragrance,
and at our door is every delicacy,
new as well as old,
that I have treasured up for you, my beloved.Gen 30:14; Mat 13:52
