Song of Solomon 7:8-10
Good News Translation

8 I will climb the palm tree
    and pick its fruit.
To me your breasts are like bunches of grapes,
    your breath like the fragrance of apples,
9     and your mouth like the finest wine.

The Woman

Then let the wine flow straight to my lover,
    flowing over his lips and teeth.[a]
10 I belong to my lover, and he desires me.
