Song of Songs 2:3-6
New International Version
She
3 Like an apple[a] tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved(A) among the young men.
I delight(B) to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.(C)
4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall,(D)
and let his banner(E) over me be love.
5 Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples,(F)
for I am faint with love.(G)
6 His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.(H)

Song of Solomon 2:3-6
King James Version
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
