Song of Solomon 2:5 in context

The verses around it, from Song of Solomon 2.

1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley.

2 Like a lily among the thorns is my darling among the maidens.

3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

4 He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love.

5 Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

6 His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

7 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

8 Listen! My beloved approaches. Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills.

9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.
