I was comparing different versions of Song of songs 2:7 and:
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.
Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem, by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild deer: Don't excite love, don't stir it up, until the time is ripe - and you're ready.
Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and wild deer, not to awaken love until the time is right.
I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.
Promise me, women of Jerusalem; swear by the swift deer and the gazelles that you will not interrupt our love.

Isn’t it lovely?
#But also like JC my man I doubt you have to worry about me#I like that some versions are more#when you are ready#when its right#until whenever it pleases#and the last one is the sweetest#how His love is the greatest and He doesn’t want it to be interrupted#He wants you to only have Him until the moment comes He brings you another#ALSO#how he refers to us as Woman Daughters and Sisters is just so sweet too#and I do love the picture painted eith the gazelles and does very poetic#christianity#bible verse#bible#bible study#bible quote
