Song of Solomon 5:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version
6 I opened for my lover,
but my lover had turned away and was gone!
I nearly died
when he came and went.[a]
I looked for him,
but I couldn’t find him.
I called for him,
but he didn’t answer me.
7 The guards patrolling the city found me.
They hit me.
They hurt me.
The guards on the wall
took my robe from me.
8 I tell you, women of Jerusalem,
if you find my lover, tell him I am weak with love.[b]
