Berean Standard Bible

(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.

Context

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. 7Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned. 8We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?
