Song of Solomon 3:3-5

Complete Jewish Bible

³ The guards roaming the city found me.
“Have you seen the man I love?”
⁴ Scarcely had I left them,
when I found the man I love.
I took hold of him
and would not let him go
until I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the bedroom of the woman who conceived me.
⁵ I warn you, daughters of Yerushalayim,
by the gazelles and deer in the wilds,
not to awaken or stir up love
until it wants to arise!
