Song of Solomon 8:4 in Context — Song of Solomon 8

2 Je veux te conduire, t’amener à la maison de ma mère; Tu me donneras tes instructions, Et je te ferai boire du vin parfumé, Du moût de mes grenades.

3 Que sa main gauche soit sous ma tête, Et que sa droite m’embrasse!

4 Je vous en conjure, filles de Jérusalem, Ne réveillez pas, ne réveillez pas l’amour, Avant qu’elle le veuille.

5 Qui est celle qui monte du désert, Appuyée sur son bien-aimé? Je t’ai réveillée sous le pommier; Là ta mère t’a enfantée, C’est là qu’elle t’a enfantée, qu’elle t’a donné le jour.

6 Mets-moi comme un sceau sur ton cœur, Comme un sceau sur ton bras; Car l’amour est fort comme la mort, La jalousie est inflexible comme le séjour des morts; Ses ardeurs sont des ardeurs de feu, Une flamme de l’Éternel.
