Song of Solomon 5:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ “I rose up to open to my well-beloved, and my hands did drop down myrrh, and my fingers pure myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.

⁶ “I opened to my well-beloved, but my well-beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart failed when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he did not answer me.

⁷ “The watchmen who were around the city found me. They struck me and wounded me. The watchmen of the walls took away my veil from me.
