Song of Solomon 2:5

Read in context

Song of Solomon 2:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 Like an apricot tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

4 He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love.

5 Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

6 His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

7 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.
