OET-RV SNG Chapter 7

OET ◄ SNG 7 ► ║ ═ ©

This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

7  The groom

7 Your feet are so beautiful in sandals, daughter of a noble.

The curves of your thighs are like ornaments—the work of a craftsman’s hands.

2 Your navel is like a round bowl

that never lacks spiced wine.

Your belly is like a pile of threshed wheat

encircled with lily flowers.

3 Your two breasts are like two fawns—

a gazelle’s twins.

4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory.

Your eyes are pools in Heshbon

by the gate of Bath Rabbim.

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,

looking to the face of Damascus.

5 Your head crowns you like Mt. Carmel,

and the loose hair of your head is like purple robes—

a king is held captive in their tresses.

6 You’re so beautiful and so lovely—

you’re love with added delights!

7 You’re tall like a palm tree,

and your breasts like its clusters of dates.

8 I said, “I’ll go up the palm tree.

I’ll grab hold of its stalks of fruit.”

And, please, let your breasts be like the clusters on the grapevine,

and let the fragrance of your nose be like apples,

9 and let your mouth be like the best wine

going down smoothly for my dearest—

gliding over the lips of those who sleep.

The bride

10 I belong to my dearest

and his longing is for me.

11 Come, my dearest, let’s go out to the countryside.

Let’s spend the night in the villages.

12 Let’s go early to the vineyards.

We’ll see if the grapevine has budded,

if the blossoms have opened,

and if the pomegranates have bloomed.

There I’ll give my love to you.

13 The mandrakes give off a scent,

and over our doors are all kinds of choice dried fruits—

new ones and also old ones.

My dearest, I’ve stored these up for you.
