Song of Solomon 8:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ “^[a](A)I want you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
^[b]Do not arouse or awaken my love
Until ^[c]she pleases.”

⁵ “^[d](B)Who is this coming up from the wilderness
Leaning on her beloved?”

“^[e]Beneath the ^[f](C)apple tree I awakened you;
There your mother was in labor with you,
There she was in labor and gave you birth.
⁶ “Put me like a ^[g]seal over your heart,
Like a ^(D)seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
^[h](E)Jealousy is as severe as Sheol;
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
^[i]The very flame of the Lord.
