Song of Songs 3:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ The watchmen who patrol the city found me.
“Have you seen the one my soul loves?”
⁴ I had hardly passed them,
when I found the one my soul loves.
I held him and would not let him go,
until I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the room of the one who conceived me.
⁵ Daughters of Jerusalem,
you must swear to me by the gazelles,
and by the does of the field,
that you will not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
