Song of Songs 8:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you,
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.(A)
Young Women
5 Who is this(B) coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on the one she loves?
Woman
I awakened you under the apricot tree.(C)
There your mother conceived you;
there she conceived and gave you birth.
6 Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm.(D)
For love is as strong as death;(E)
jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames(F)—
an almighty flame![a]
