52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Song of Solomon 7

1

How beautiful are thy footsteps in sandals, O prince's daughter! The roundings of thy thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist.

2

Thy navel is a round goblet, [which] wanteth not mixed wine; Thy belly a heap of wheat, set about with lilies;

3

Thy two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle;

4

Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; Thine eyes, [like] the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose like the tower of Lebanon, Which looketh toward Damascus;

5

Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the locks of thy head like purple; The king is fettered by [thy] ringlets!

6

How fair and how pleasant art thou, [my] love, in delights!

7

This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to grape clusters.

8

I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof; And thy breasts shall indeed be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples,

9

And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine, ... That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, And stealeth over the lips of them that are asleep.

10

I am my beloved's, And his desire is toward me.

11

-- Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; Let us lodge in the villages.

12

We will go up early to the vineyards, We will see if the vine hath budded, [If] the blossom is opening, And the pomegranates are in bloom: There will I give thee my loves.

13

The mandrakes yield fragrance; And at our gates are all choice fruits, new and old: I have laid them up for thee, my beloved.

Song of Solomon 8

1

Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! Should I find thee without, I would kiss thee; And they would not despise me.

2

I would lead thee, bring thee into my mother's house; Thou wouldest instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.

3

His left hand would be under my head, And his right hand embrace me.

4

I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, ... Why should ye stir up, why awake [my] love, till he please?

5

Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awoke thee under the apple-tree: There thy mother brought thee forth; There she brought thee forth [that] bore thee.

6

Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol: The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, Flames of Jah.

7

Many waters cannot quench love, Neither do the floods drown it: Even if a man gave all the substance of his house for love, It would utterly be contemned.

8

We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for? --

9

If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver; And if she be a door, We will enclose her with boards of cedar.

10

I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; Then was I in his eyes as one that findeth peace.

11

Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon: He let out the vineyard unto keepers; Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand silver-pieces.

12

My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: The thousand [silver-pieces] be to thee, Solomon; And to the keepers of its fruit, two hundred.

13

Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken to thy voice: Let me hear [it].

14

Haste, my beloved, And be thou like a gazelle or a young hart Upon the mountains of spices.
