Song of Solomon 7

Easy-to-Read Version

7 Princess,^[a] your feet are beautiful in those sandals.
    The curves of your thighs are like jewelry made by an artist.
² Your navel is like a round cup^[b];
    may it never be without wine.
Your belly is like a pile of wheat
    surrounded by lilies.
³ Your breasts are like twin fawns
    of a young gazelle.
⁴ Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon
    near the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
    that looks toward Damascus.
⁵ Your head is like Carmel,
    and the hair on your head is like silk.
Your long flowing hair
    captures even a king.
⁶ You are so beautiful and so pleasant,
    a lovely, delightful young woman!
⁷ You are tall—
    as tall as a palm tree.
And your breasts are like
    the clusters of fruit on that tree.
⁸ I would love to climb that tree
    and take hold of its branches.

¹⁰ I belong to my lover,
    and he wants me.
¹¹ Come, my lover,
    let’s go out into the field;
    let’s spend the night in the villages.
¹² Let’s get up early and go to the vineyards.
    Let’s see if the vines are in bloom.
Let’s see if the blossoms have opened
    and if the pomegranates are in bloom.
    There I will give you my love.
