Song of Songs 3:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
    by the gazelles or the wild does:
do not stir up or awaken love
    until it is ready!^(A)

⁶ Who is that coming up from the wilderness
    like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
    with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?^(B)
7 Look, it is the litter of Solomon!
Around it are sixty mighty men
    of the mighty men of Israel,
