Song of Songs 8:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
do not stir up or awaken love
until it is ready!(A)
Homecoming
5 Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning upon her beloved?
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labor with you;
there she who bore you was in labor.(B)
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.(C)
