Song of Solomon 2:7-9
Lexham English Bible

7 I adjure you, O maidens of Jerusalem,[a]
    by the gazelles or by the does of the field,
do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases![b]

Rendezvous in the Countryside

8 The voice of my beloved!
    Look! Here he[c] comes leaping upon the mountains,
        bounding over the hills!
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.[d]
    Look! He is[e] standing behind our wall,
gazing through[f] the window,
    looking through[g] the lattice.
