7 I have put YOU under oath,+ O daughters of Jerusalem, by the female gazelles+ or by the hinds+ of the field, that YOU try not to awaken or arouse love [in me] until it feels inclined.+

9 “How is your dear one more than any other dear one,+ O you most beautiful one among women?+ How is your dear one more than any other dear one, that you have put us under such an oath as this?”+

6 “Where has your dear one gone, O most beautiful one among women?+ Where has your dear one turned, that we may seek him with you?”
