Song of Songs 8:4-6
New International Version
4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(A)
Friends
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(B)
leaning on her beloved?
She
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived(C) you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(D) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](E) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
Footnotes
