Song of Songs 3:5
Berean Standard Bible
O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
Context
3I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city:
“Have you seen the one I love?” 4I had just passed them when I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let go
until I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the chamber of the one who conceived me. 5O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you
by the gazelles and does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until the time is right. 6Who is this coming up from the wilderness
like a column of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense
from all the spices of the merchant? 7Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage,*
escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.
