1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
OtPs. 45:13 noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are likeuProv. 25:12 jewels,
the work ofv[Prov. 8:30] a master hand.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl
that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
encircled withwch. 2:1 lilies.
3 xch. 4:5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Youry[ch. 4:4] neck is like an ivory tower.
Yourz[ch. 5:12] eyes are pools inaNum. 21:26 Heshbon,
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower ofbch. 4:8; See 1 Kgs. 4:33 Lebanon,
which looks towardc1 Kgs. 11:24; 2 Kgs. 5:12 Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you likeeSee Josh. 19:26 Carmel,
and yourf[ch. 4:1] flowing locks are like purple;

O loved one, with all your delights!1Or among delights

and your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I say I will climb the palm tree
and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be likei[ch. 1:14; Mic. 7:1] clusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,
9
and yourj[ch. 5:16] mouth like the best wine.
It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth.
10 kch. 2:16; 6:3 I am my beloved's,
l[Ps. 45:11] and his desire is for me.
11

let us go out into the fields
and lodge in the villages;1Or among the henna plants
12 let us go out early to the vineyards
nch. 6:11 and see whether the vines have budded,
whetheroch. 2:13, 15 the grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
13 pGen. 30:14; ch. 4:13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
q[Matt. 13:52] new as well as old,
which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
