Song of Songs 7:6-12
New International Version
6 How beautiful(A) you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!(B)
7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
and your breasts(C) like clusters of fruit.
8 I 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,(D)
9 and your mouth like the best wine.
She
May the wine go straight to my beloved,(E)
flowing gently over lips and teeth.[a]
10 I belong to my beloved,
and his desire(F) is for me.(G)
11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside,
let us spend the night in the villages.[b]
12 Let us go early to the vineyards(H)
to see if the vines have budded,(I)
if their blossoms(J) have opened,
and if the pomegranates(K) are in bloom(L)—
there I will give you my love.

King James Version
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8 I 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;
9 And 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.
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12 Let 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.
