Song of Songs 3:1-3

New International Reader's Version

3 “All night long on my bed
    I searched for the one my heart loves.
    I looked for him but didn’t find him.
² I will get up and go around in the city.
    I’ll look through all of its streets.
I’ll search for the one my heart loves.
    So I looked for him but didn’t find him.
³ Those on guard duty found me
    as they were walking around in the city.
    ‘Have you seen the one my heart loves?’ I asked.
