The Couple Returns and Remembers

Song of Solomon 8:5
Showing verse 5 with surrounding context.
2
I lead thee, I bring thee in unto my mother's house, She doth teach me, I cause thee to drink of the perfumed wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate,
3
His left hand is under my head, And his right doth embrace me.
4
I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, How ye stir up, And how ye wake the love till she please!
5
Who is this coming from the wilderness, Hasting herself for her beloved? Under the citron-tree I have waked thee, There did thy mother pledge thee, There she gave a pledge that bare thee.
6
Set me as a seal on thy heart, as a seal on thine arm, For strong as death is love, Sharp as Sheol is jealousy, Its burnings are burnings of fire, a flame of Jah!
7
Many waters are not able to quench the love, And floods do not wash it away. If one give all the wealth of his house for love, Treading down--they tread upon it.
8
We have a little sister, and breasts she hath not, What do we do for our sister, In the day that it is told of her?
