Song of Solomon 3:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 Right after that, I found him.
I held him and would not let go
until I had taken him
to the home of my mother.
5 Young women of Jerusalem,
promise me by the power
of deer and gazelles,[a]
never to awaken love
before it is ready.
The Groom and the Wedding Party
Their Friends Speak:
6 What do we see approaching
from the desert
like a cloud of smoke?
With it comes the sweet smell
of spices, including myrrh
and frankincense.
Footnotes
- 3.5 deer and gazelles: See the note at 2.7.
