Song of Solomon 8:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
In context
2 I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
4 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.
6 Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.
