Song of Songs 8:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 (A)I would lead you, bring you to my mother’s house,
where you would teach me,
Where I would give you to drink
spiced wine, my pomegranate[a] juice.
3 (B)His left hand is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.
4 (C)I adjure you, Daughters of Jerusalem,
do not awaken or stir up love
until it is ready!
