Geneva Bible Notes Reformed @genevanotes

Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of spices. (k) The Church desires Christ that if he depart from them, yet he would haste to help them in their troubles.

Keil & Delitzsch Lutheran @keilanddelitzsch

Sol 8:14 14 Flee, my beloved, And be thou like a gazelle, Or a young one of the harts, Upon spicy mountains. Hitzig supposes that with these words of refusal she bids him away from her, without, however, as “my beloved” shows, meaning them in a bad sense. They would thus, as Renan says, be bantering coquetry.
