KJ3 Literal Translation
Song of Solomon 7
A further description of the graces of Christ's beloved. His beloved again professes her faith and desire.
1How beautiful are your footsteps in sandals, O prince's daughter! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of an artisan.
2Your navel is like a round goblet; it never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is like a heap of wheat hedged about with lilies.
3Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4Your neck is like an ivory tower; your eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, peering toward the face of Damascus.
5Your head is like Carmel, and the hair of your head like purple cloth; the King is held captive in its flowing.
6How beautiful and how pleasant you are in delights, O love!
7This your stature is likened to a palm tree, and your breasts to clusters of grapes.
8I said, I will go up in the palm tree; I will take hold of its stalk. And please let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your nose like apples,
9and your palate like the best wine going down for my Beloved for uprightness, flowing softly over the lips of sleeping ones.
10I am my Beloved's, and His desire is toward me.
11Come, my Beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us stay in the villages.
12Let us rise up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flowers and whether the blossom opens, and the pomegranates bud forth. There I will give my loves to You.
13The love apples give a scent, and over our doors are all excellent fruits; new, also old, I have laid up for You, my Beloved.
