Song of Solomon 7

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.

2

Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

1
3

Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

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.

5

Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.

6

How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

7

This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

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;

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.

10

I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.

1
11

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.

1
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.

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.

Song of Solomon 7:10

“I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.”

Study Summary

The beloved responds, declaring that she is her beloved's and his desire is for her, establishing that despite the lover's elaborate assertion of ownership and intention, the beloved affirms mutual belonging and suggests that the lover desires her. The beloved's statement that the lover's desire is directed toward her establishes that his passion is focused and that she is the object of his deepest longing.

This verse theologically suggests that the beloved actively affirms mutual belonging and directs attention to the lover's desire for her, establishing that she is desired and valued.

What it means to love — Song of Solomon 7

God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. The promise here is not conditional on our strength but on His character.. God meets us exactly where we are — broken, uncertain, yet chosen. God is faithful in every circumstance.. I love how this passage doesn't shy away from the difficulty of obedience. I love how this passage doesn't shy away from the difficulty of obedience. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. It implies covenant loyalty, steadfast love that never wavers.. The imagery here is agricultural — the original audience would have immediately understood the metaphor of sowing, waiting, and harvesting.. Faith isn't the absence of doubt — it's choosing to believe despite it.. We bring nothing; He provides everything.. My grandmother used to quote this verse every morning.
