Canticle of Canticles 7

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.	1 Turn, turn, O Shulammite,
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.	2 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.	3 Your navel is a round bowl
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.	4 Your breasts are like twin fawns,
5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.	5 Your neck is like a tower of ivory.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!	6 You head rises like Carmel;
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.	7 How beautiful you are, how pleasing,
8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;	8 Your very figure is like a palm tree,
9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.	9 I said: I will climb the palm tree,
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.	10 And your mouth like an excellent wine-
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.	11 I belong to my lover
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.	12 Come, my lover, let us go forth to the fields
13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.	13 Let us go early to the vineyards, and see
	14 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
