Song of Solomon 7:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 I will climb that tree
and cling to its branches.
I will discover that your breasts
are clusters of grapes,
and that your breath
is the aroma of apples.
9 Kissing you is more delicious
than drinking the finest wine.
How wonderful and tasty![a]
She Speaks:
10 My darling, I am yours,
and you desire me.
