Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Friends
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? The Bride I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.
6Set 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.Cross References
