Song of Songs 2:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ O that his left hand were under my head
    and that his right hand embraced me!^(A)
7 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!^(B)

⁸ The voice of my beloved!
    Look, he comes,
leaping upon the mountains,
    bounding over the hills.^(C)
