Song of Solomon 8:5 Context
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. 7Many waters cannot quench loue, neither can the floods drowne it: if a man would giue all the substance of his house for loue, it would vtterly be contemned.
