## Song of Solomon 8:3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/8/1) O that thou *wert* as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! *when* I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/8/2) I would lead thee, *and* bring thee into my mother’s house, *who* would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/8/3) His left hand *should be* under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/8/4) I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake *my* love, until he please.*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/8/5) Who *is* this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth *that* bare thee.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/8/6) ¶ Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love *is* strong as death; jealousy *is* cruel as the grave: the coals thereof *are* coals of fire, *which hath a* most vehement flame.*
 
[Song of Solomon 7](/kjv/song-of-solomon/7) [Isaiah 1](/kjv/isaiah/1)
