Song of Solomon 8:4-6

Names of God Bible

⁴Young women of Jerusalem, swear to me
that you will not awaken love
or arouse love before its proper time!

The Young Woman’s Love for Her Beloved

[The chorus of young women]

⁵Who is this young woman coming from the wilderness
with her arm around her beloved?

[Bride]

    Under the apple tree I woke you up.
    There your mother went into labor with you.
        There she went into labor
            and gave birth to you!
⁶Wear me as a signet ring on your heart,
    as a ring on your hand.
    Love is as overpowering as death.
    Devotion is as unyielding as the grave.
    Love’s flames are flames of fire,
        flames that come from Yah.
