Song of Solomon 7:2

Song 7:2. "Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor." The navel, according to the ancient notions they had of things, was the seat of health. Proverbs 3:8, "It shall be health to thy navel." Job 40:16, "His force is in the navel of his belly." So that the thing which is here most probably represented is the spiritual health of the church: her navel is compared to a goblet which wanteth not liquor, i.e. full of wine, that enlivening, invigorating liquor. The word signifies mixture or temperament, or wine mixed or tempered; that is, wine that is so prepared as to make it the most agreeable and wholesome; (see Proverbs 23:30; Proverbs 9:2); probably the same may be meant that is called spiced wine, in Song of Solomon 8:2.
