Song of Solomon 3:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version
3 The guards patrolling the city found me.
I asked them, “Have you seen the man I love?”
4 I had just left the guards
when I found the man I love!
I held him and would not let him go,
while I took him to my mother’s house,
to the room of one who bore[a] me.
She Speaks to the Women
5 Women of Jerusalem, promise me
by the gazelles and wild deer,
don’t awaken love,
don’t arouse love, until I am ready.[b]
