Song of Solomon 3:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
    by the gazelles or the wild does:
do not stir up or awaken love
    until it is ready!

    like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
    with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?
⁷ Look, it is the litter of Solomon!

    of the mighty men of Israel,
