Song of Solomon 8:4 Context
2I would leade thee, and bring thee into my mothers house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drinke of spiced wine, of the iuice of my pomegranate. 3His left hand should be vnder my head, and his right hand should embrace me. 4I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, that ye stirre not vp, nor awake my loue vntill he please. 5(Who is this that commeth vp from the wildernesse, leaning vpon her beloued?) I raised thee vp vnder the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth, there she brought thee forth, that bare thee. 6¶ Set mee as a seale vpon thine heart, as a seale vpon thine arme: for loue is strong as death, iealousie is cruel as the graue: the coales thereof are coales of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
