4. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye not awake nor stir up love until he pleases.
5. Who is she that comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I woke thee up under the apple tree; there thy mother had birth pains; there she had pains that brought thee into the light.
6. Set me as a seal upon thine heart as a sign upon thine arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is hard as Sheol; the coals thereof are coals of fire, which have a most vehement flame.
7. The many waters cannot quench love, neither can the rivers drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for this love, it would certainly be despised.
8. We have a little sister, and she still has no breasts; what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
