Song of Songs 5:6-15

6I openedH6605 to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself; he was goneH3318: My soulH5315 wentH3318 forthH3318 when he spokeH1696.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;
