The groom calls his bride to leave her mountainous home, a place filled with dangers like lions and leopards. Commentators see this as a powerful picture of Christ calling believers to leave the perilous allurements of the world. As Charles Spurgeon notes, even the world's most attractive places can be 'lions' dens' compared to the safety of fellowship with Jesus.
