The Song of Solomon Chapter 5

World English Bible

   1: I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved. Beloved
   2: I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My hair with the dampness of the night.
   3: I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
   4: My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
   5: I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with liquid myrrh, On the handles of the lock.
   6: I opened to my beloved; But my beloved left; gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn't find him. I called him, but he didn't answer.
   7: The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
   8: I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends
   9: How is your beloved better than another beloved, You fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, That you do so adjure us? Beloved
   10: My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
   11: His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
   12: His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, Washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
   13: His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
   14: His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
   15: His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
   16: His mouth is sweetness; Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, Daughters of Jerusalem. Friends
