New International Version

Song Of Solomon 2:5-11 New International Version (NIV)

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

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

7. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.

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

9. My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.

10. My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.

11. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.
