아가 7장 [ASV]

1. 1 How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O princes daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman.

2. 2 Thy body is (like) a round goblet, (Wherein) no mingled wine is wanting: Thy waist is (like) a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.

3. 3 Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe.

4. 4 Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes (as) the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus.

5. 5 Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the hair of thy head like purple; The king is held captive in the tresses (thereof).

6. 6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

7. 7 This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to its clusters.

8. 8 I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, And the smell of thy breath like apples,

9. 9 And thy mouth like the best wine, That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.

10. 10 I am my beloveds; And his desire is toward me.

11. 11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

12. 12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine hath budded, (And) its blossom is open, (And) the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give thee my love.

13. 13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
