Song of Songs 5
Darby Bible
1I am comeH935 into my gardenH1588, my sisterH269, [my] spouse; I have gathered my myrrhH4753 with my spice; I have eatenH398 my honeycomb with my honeyH1706; I have drunkH7937 my wineH3196 with my milkH2461. EatH398, O friendsH7453; drinkH8354, yea, drinkH8354 abundantly, beloved ones! 2I sleptH3462, but my heartH3820 was awakeH5782. The voiceH6963 of my beloved! he knocketh: OpenH6605 to me, my sisterH269, my love, my doveH3123, mine undefiled; For my headH7218 is filledH4390 with dewH2919, My locksH6977 with the drops of the nightH3915. 3— I have putH3847 off my tunicH3801, howH349 should I putH3847 it on? I have washedH7364 my feetH7272, howH349 should I pollute them? — 4My beloved put in his handH3027 by the holeH2356 [of the door]; And my bowelsH4578 yearned for him. 5I roseH6965 up to openH6605 to my beloved; And my handsH3027 dropped with myrrhH4753, And my fingersH676 with liquid myrrhH4753, Upon the handles of the lock. 6I openedH6605 to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself; he was goneH3318: My soulH5315 wentH3318 forthH3318 when he spokeH1696. I soughtH1245 him, but I foundH4672 him not; I calledH7121 him, but he gave me no answerH6030. 7The watchmenH8104 that wentH5437 about the cityH5892 foundH4672 me; They smote me, they woundedH5221 me; The keepersH8104 of the wallsH2346 tookH5375 awayH5375 my veil from me. 8I charge you, daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, If ye findH4672 my beloved, ...What will ye tellH5046 him? — That I am sickH2470 of loveH160. 9What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, Thou fairest among womenH802? What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, That thou dost so charge us? 10My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among tenH7233 thousandH7233. 11His headH7218 is [as] the finest goldH3800; His locksH6977 are flowing, blackH7838 as the ravenH6158; 12His eyesH5869 are like dovesH3123 by the water-brooks, WashedH7364 with milkH2461, fitly set; 13His cheeksH3895 are as a bedH6170 of spicesH1314, raised bedsH6170 of sweet plants; His lipsH8193 liliesH7799, dropping liquid myrrhH4753. 14His handsH3027 goldH2091 rings, set with the chrysolite; His belly is bright ivoryH8127, overlaid [with] sapphiresH5601; 15His legsH7785, pillarsH5982 of marble, set upon bases of fineH8336 goldH6337: His bearing as LebanonH3844, excellent as the cedarsH730; 16His mouthH2441 is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friendH7453, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
