Song of Solomon 7
KJV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleNew International Version
1How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.1How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of an artist's hands.
2Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.2Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies.
3Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.3Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.4Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus.
5Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.5Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. Your hair is like royal tapestry; the king is held captive by its tresses.
6How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!6How beautiful you are and how pleasing, my love, with your delights!
7This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.7Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
8I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;8I said, "I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit." May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples,
9And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.9and your mouth like the best wine. She May the wine go straight to my beloved, flowing gently over lips and teeth.
10I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.10I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me.
11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.11Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages.
12Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.12Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom-- there I will give you my love.
13The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.13The mandrakes send out their fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you, my beloved.
