Song of Solomon 2:5-7
Contemporary English Version

5 Refresh and strengthen me
with raisins and apples.
    I am hungry for love!
6 Put your left hand under my head
and embrace me
    with your right arm.

7 Young women of Jerusalem,
promise me by the power
    of deer and gazelles[a]
never to awaken love
    before it is ready.
