Song of Solomon 7:9
World English Bible (WEB)
Your mouth is like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.
In context
7 This, your stature, is like a palm tree, your breasts like its fruit.
8 I said, “I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit.” Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the smell of your breath like apples.
9 Your mouth is like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.
10 I am my beloved’s. His desire is toward me.
11 Come, my beloved! Let’s go out into the field. Let’s lodge in the villages.
