Context of Song of Songs 7:11
9Your mouth is like fine wine — flowing smoothly for my love, gliding past my lips and teeth! 10I am my love’s, and his desire is for me. Come, my love, let’s go to the field; let’s spend the night among the henna blossoms. 12Let’s go early to the vineyards; let’s see if the vine has budded, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my caresses. 13The mandrakes give off a fragrance, and at our doors is every delicacy, both new and old. I have treasured them up for you, my love.
