Up From The Wilderness And Under The Apple Tree

4 I want you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not arouse or awaken my love
Until she pleases.”
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness
Leaning on her beloved?”
Beneath the apple tree I awakened you;
There your mother was in labor with you,
There she was in labor and gave you birth.
6 “Put me like a seal over your heart,
Like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
Jealousy is as severe as Sheol;
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
The very flame of the Lord.
