Song of Solomon 2:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

8 Listen! My beloved approaches. Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills.
