Song of Solomon 8:4-6

New International Version - UK

⁴ Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
    do not arouse or awaken love
    until it so desires.

⁵ Who is this coming up from the wilderness
    leaning on her beloved?

Under the apple tree I roused you;
    there your mother conceived you,
    there she who was in labour gave you birth.
⁶ Place me like a seal over your heart,
    like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
    its jealousy^[a] unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
    like a mighty flame.^[b]
