Song of Solomon 7:9 Context
7This thy stature is like to a palme tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. 8I said, I will goe vp to the palme tree, I will take hold of the boughes thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose, like apples. 9And the roofe of thy mouth like the best wine, for my beloued, that goeth downe sweetely, causing the lippes of those that are asleepe, to speake. 10¶ I am my beloueds, and his desire is towards me. 11Come, my beloued, let vs goe forth into the field: let vs lodge in the villages.
