Song of Songs 3:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 The sentinels found me,
as they went about in the city.
“Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”(A)
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 into my mother’s house
and into the chamber of her that conceived me.(B)
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!(C)
Song of Songs 3:3-5
New International Version
3 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(A)
“Have you seen the one my heart loves?”
4 Scarcely had I passed them
when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
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)
