Berean Standard Bible

O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

Context

2I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates. 3His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. 4O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right. 5Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? 6(5) I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth. (6) Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy * as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.
