The Song of Songs, Which is Solomon's
Chapter 7
American Standard VersionSong 7:1 | How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman. |

Song 7:3 | Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe. |
Song 7:4 | Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes as the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus. |
