Song of Songs 8:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible

4 “[a](A)I call you to solemnly swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
[b]Why should you 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 [j]Yah.
