Shir Hashirim 7:2-9 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

2. (7:3) Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not wine: thy waist is like a mound of chittim (wheat) encircled by shoshanim (lilies).

3. (7:4) Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a gazelle.

4. (7:5) Thy tzavar (neck) is like a migdal of ivory; thine eyes like the pools of Cheshbon, by the sha'ar (gate) of Bat-Rabbim; thy nose is like the migdal of the Levanon which looketh toward Damascus.

5. (7:6) Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like royal tapestry; Melech is held captive in its tresses.

6. (7:7) How fair and how pleasant art thou, O Ahavah, for delights!

7. (7:8) This thy stature is like a tamar (palm tree), and thy breasts eshkolot (clusters [of fruit]).

8. (7:9) I said, I will climb up to the tamar, I will take hold of the branches thereof; now also thy breasts shall be as eshkelot hagefen (clusters of the vine), and the scent of thy breath like apples;

9. (7:10) And the roof of thy mouth like the best yayin of dodi (my beloved), that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
