Song of Solomon 5:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ I got up to open the door for my lover.
    Myrrh was dripping from my hands.
Myrrh was flowing from my fingers,
    onto the handles of the lock.
⁶ I opened the door for my lover.
    But my lover had left. He was gone.
    When he had spoken, he had taken my breath away.
I looked for him, but I could not find him.
    I called for him, but he did not answer me.
⁷ The watchmen found me
    as they patrolled the city.
They hit me; they hurt me.
    The guards on the wall took away my coat.
