Song of Songs 3:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 I had just passed them
when I found the one I love.
I held on to him and would not let him go
until I brought him to my mother’s house(A)—
to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
5 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and the wild does of the field,
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.[a](B)
Narrator
6 Who is this(C) coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense(D)
from every fragrant powder of the merchant?

by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(D)
