Song of Solomon 3:5-7

Names of God Bible

⁵Young women of Jerusalem, swear to me
    by the gazelles
        or by the does in the field,
            that you will not awaken love
                or arouse love before its proper time.

A Description of the Royal Procession

[The chorus of young women]

⁶Who is this young woman coming up from the wilderness
    like clouds of smoke?
        She is perfumed with myrrh and incense
            made from the merchants’ scented powders.
⁷Look! Solomon’s sedan chair!^[a]
    Sixty soldiers from the army of Israel surround it.
