The verses these writers stop at

• 2:14 My dove, hidden in the clefts of the rock, in the shelter of the cliff, show me your face, let me hear you speak, for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely. 7
• 1:3 The scent of your perfumes is lovely; your name is perfume poured out; that is why the young women love you. 6
• 8:6 Set me as a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm, for love is as strong as death, its passion as relentless as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a mighty flame. 6
• 5:2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. Listen! My beloved knocks: "Open the door for me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my hair with the drops of the night." 5
