Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 3:5

_ _ So Song of Songs 2:7; but there it was for the non-interruption of her own fellowship with Jesus Christ that she was anxious; here it is for the not grieving of the Holy Ghost, on the part of the daughters of Jerusalem. Jealously avoid levity, heedlessness, and offenses which would mar the gracious work begun in others (Matthew 18:7; Acts 2:42, Acts 2:43; Ephesians 4:30).
