Song of Songs 3:3-5
Modern English Version
3 The watchmen found me,
as they went about the city.
“Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
4 Scarcely had I passed them,
when I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go
until I brought him to my mother’s house,
and into the chamber of her who conceived me.
5 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or does of the field,
do not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.

as they made their rounds in the city.(A)
“Have you seen the one my heart loves?”

till I had brought him to my mother’s house,(B)
to the room of the one who conceived me.(C)
5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(D)
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(E)
