Song of Songs 7:3

Wine Wheat and Lilies

Desire and the Vineyards · Song of Songs 7

Story guide: The praising voice compares the woman's navel with a bowl of wine and her belly with wheat surrounded by lilies. Notice the rounded vessel, grain, and flowers. The still life makes shape, richness, and abundance visible, keeping the bodily comparisons poetic rather than presenting them as an anatomical diagram.
