Song of Solomon 8:4-6
English Standard Version
Song of Solomon 8:4-6
English Standard Version
4 I (A)adjure you, O (B)daughters of Jerusalem,
(C)that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.
5 (D)Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labor with you;
there she who bore you was in labor.
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as (E)a seal upon your arm,
for (F)love is strong as death,
(G)jealousy[a] is fierce as the grave.[b]
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very (H)flame of the Lord.

its jealousy[a](E) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
