7:1 As
the
chorus
of
`Mahanaim.'
How
beautiful
were
thy
feet
with
sandals,
O
daughter
of
Nadib.
The
turnings
of
thy
sides
[are]
as
ornaments,
Work
of
the
hands
of
an
artificer.
7:2 Thy
waist
[is]
a
basin
of
roundness,
It
lacketh
not
the
mixture,
Thy
body
a
heap
of
wheat,
fenced
with
lilies,
7:3 Thy
two
breasts
as
two
young
ones,
twins
of
a
roe,
7:4 Thy
neck
as
a
tower
of
the
ivory,
Thine
eyes
pools
in
Heshbon,
near
the
gate
of
Bath-Rabbim,
Thy
face
as
a
tower
of
Lebanon
looking
to
Damascus,
7:5 Thy
head
upon
thee
as
Carmel,
And
the
locks
of
thy
head
as
purple,
The
king
is
bound
with
the
flowings!
7:6 How
fair
and
how
pleasant
hast
thou
been,
O
love,
in
delights.
7:7 This
thy
stature
hath
been
like
to
a
palm,
And
thy
breasts
to
clusters.
7:8 I
said,
`Let
me
go
up
on
the
palm,
Let
me
lay
hold
on
its
boughs,
Yea,
let
thy
breasts
be,
I
pray
thee,
as
clusters
of
the
vine,
And
the
fragrance
of
thy
face
as
citrons,
7:9 And
thy
palate
as
the
good
wine--'Flowing
to
my
beloved
in
uprightness,
Strengthening
the
lips
of
the
aged!
7:10 I
[am]
my
beloved's,
and
on
me
[is]
his
desire.
7:11 Come,
my
beloved,
we
go
forth
to
the
field,
7:12 We
lodge
in
the
villages,
we
go
early
to
the
vineyards,
We
see
if
the
vine
hath
flourished,
The
sweet
smelling-flower
hath
opened.
The
pomegranates
have
blossomed,
There
do
I
give
to
thee
my
loves;
7:13 The
mandrakes
have
given
fragrance,
And
at
our
openings
all
pleasant
things,
New,
yea,
old,
my
beloved,
I
laid
up
for
thee!
