nkjv Songs:7-8 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
How beautiful are your feet in sandals ,
O prince '
s daughter !
The curves of your thighs are like jewels ,
The work of the hands of a skillful workman .
*
Your navel is a rounded goblet ;
It lacks no blended beverage .
Your waist is a heap of wheat Set about with lilies .
*
Your two breasts are like two fawns ,
Twins of a gazelle .
*
Your neck is like an ivory tower ,
Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon By the gate of Bath Rabbim .
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looks toward Damascus .
*
Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel ,
And the hair of your head is like purple ;
A king is held captive by your tresses .
*
How fair and how pleasant you are ,
O love ,
with your delights !
*
This stature of yours is like a palm tree ,
And your breasts like its clusters .
*
I said , "
I will go up to the palm tree ,
I will take hold of its branches ."
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine ,
The fragrance of your breath like apples ,
*
And the roof of your mouth like the best wine .
The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved ,
Moving gently the lips of sleepers .
*
I am my beloved '
s ,
And his desire is toward me .
*
Come ,
my beloved ,
Let us go forth to the field ;
Let us lodge in the villages .
*
Let us get up early to the vineyards ;
Let us see if the vine has budded ,
Whether the grape blossoms are open ,
And the pomegranates are in bloom .
There I will give you my love .
*
The mandrakes give off a fragrance ,
And at our gates are pleasant fruits ,
All manner ,
new and old ,
Which I have laid up for you ,
my beloved .
*
Oh ,
that you were like my brother ,
Who nursed at my mother '
s breasts !
If I should find you outside ,
I would kiss you ;
I would not be despised .
*
I would lead you and bring you Into the house of my mother ,
She who used to instruct me .
I would cause you to drink of spiced wine ,
Of the juice of my pomegranate .
*
His left hand is under my head ,
And his right hand embraces me .
*
I charge you ,
O daughters of Jerusalem ,
Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases .
*
Who is this coming up from the wilderness ,
Leaning upon her beloved ?
I awakened you under the apple tree .
There your mother brought you forth ;
There she who bore you brought you forth .
*
Set me as a seal upon your heart ,
As a seal upon your arm ;
For love is as strong as death ,
Jealousy as cruel as the grave ;
Its flames are flames of fire ,
A most vehement flame .
*
Many waters cannot quench love ,
Nor can the floods drown it .
If a man would give for love All the wealth of his house ,
It would be utterly despised .
*
We have a little sister ,
And she has no breasts .
What shall we do for our sister In the day when she is spoken for ?
*
If she is a wall ,
We will build upon her A battlement of silver ;
And if she is a door ,
We will enclose her With boards of cedar .
*
I am a wall ,
And my breasts like towers ;
Then I became in his eyes As one who found peace .
*
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon ;
He leased the vineyard to keepers ;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit A thousand silver coins .
*
My own vineyard is before me .
You ,
O Solomon ,
may have a thousand ,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred .
*
You who dwell in the gardens ,
The companions listen for your voice --
Let me hear it !
*
Make haste ,
my beloved ,
And be like a gazelle Or a young stag On the mountains of spices .
