Bible Chapter Summary
Solomon's Song 7 Summary
Sensory Delights and Desirable Beauty
The groom praises the bride's feet with shoes and the joints of her thighs like jewels. Her navel is like a goblet filled with wine, and her belly like a heap of wheat set about with lilies. Her two breasts are like young fawns, her neck like an ivory tower, and her eyes like fishpools in Heshbon. Her head upon her is like Mount Carmel, and the king is captivated in her galleries. He declares her stature like a palm tree with breasts like clusters of grapes, and invites her to come away into the field and lodges, to visit the vineyards early and give him her loves. At the gates are mandrakes and pleasant fruits of all kinds that she has laid up for her beloved.
