Song of Songs 3:4-6
New International Reader's Version
4 As soon as I had passed by them
I found the one my heart loves.
I threw my arms around him and didn’t let him go
until I had brought him to my mother’s house.
I took him to my mother’s room.
5 Women of Jerusalem, make me a promise.
Let the antelopes and the does serve as witnesses.
Don’t stir up love.
Don’t wake it up until it’s ready.
6 “Who is this man coming up from the desert
like a column of smoke?
He smells like myrrh and incense
made from all the spices of the trader.
Song of Songs 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Scarcely had I passed them
when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
till I had brought him to my mother’s house,(A)
to the room of the one who conceived me.(B)
5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(C)
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(D)
