Song of Solomon 2:1-7

English Standard Version

² As a lily among brambles,
    so is ^(B)my love among the young women.

³ As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
    so is my ^(C)beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat ^(D)in his shadow,
    and his ^(E)fruit was sweet to my taste.
⁴ He ^(F)brought me to the banqueting house,^[b]
    and his ^(G)banner over me was love.
⁵ Sustain me with ^(H)raisins;
    refresh me with apples,
    ^(I)for I am sick with love.
⁶ His ^(J)left hand is under my head,
    and his right hand ^(K)embraces me!
⁷ I ^(L)adjure you,^[c] O ^(M)daughters of Jerusalem,
    by ^(N)the gazelles or the does of the field,
that you not stir up or awaken love
    until it pleases.
