Context of Song of Songs 7:11
9And your mouth like the best wine!” “It goes down smoothly for my beloved, Flowing gently through the lips of those who fall asleep. 10“I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me.

There I will give you my love. 13The mandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all choice fruits, Both new and old, Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.
