Song of Solomon 7:8-10
Lexham English Bible

8 I say, “I will climb up the palm tree;
    I will lay hold of its fruit clusters.”
Let your breasts be pleasing like clusters of the vine
    and the scent of your breath like the apples.
9 Your palate is like the best wine that goes down for my beloved,
    smoothly gliding over my lips and teeth.[a]

Mutual Possession Refrain

10 I belong to my beloved,[b]
    and he desires me![c]

Footnotes

  1. Song of Solomon 7:9 Or “over lips of sleepers.” One Hebrew textual tradition preserves the reading “lips of those who sleep” (MT). Another Hebrew tradition reads “my lips and my teeth,” as reflected by the ancient versions (LXX, Latin Vulgate, Aramaic Targum, Syriac Peshitta). The latter is adopted here since it makes the most sense poetically
  2. Song of Solomon 7:10 Literally “I am for my beloved”
  3. Song of Solomon 7:10 Literally “and his desire is for me.” Or “and his desire belongs to me”
