Song of Solomon 7:5 in Context — Song of Solomon 7

3 Ton sein est une coupe arrondie, Où le vin parfumé ne manque pas; Ton corps est un tas de froment, Entouré de lis.

4 Tes deux seins sont comme deux faons, Comme les jumeaux d’une gazelle.

5 Ton cou est comme une tour d’ivoire; Tes yeux sont comme les étangs de Hesbon, Près de la porte de Bath-Rabbim; Ton nez est comme la tour du Liban, Qui regarde du côté de Damas.

6 Ta tête est élevée comme le Carmel, Et les cheveux de ta tête sont comme la pourpre; Un roi est enchaîné par des boucles!…

7 Que tu es belle, que tu es agréable, O mon amour, au milieu des délices!
