Song of Songs 5:1-2

EasyEnglish Bible

The young man:

5 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride.
I have taken my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey.
I have drunk my wine and my milk.

The writer:

Eat, friends, and drink, you who love each other!
Drink until you can drink no more!^[a]

A dream

The young woman:

²I slept but my mind was awake.^[b]
Listen! My lover is knocking on my door!

He said, ‘Open the door for me, my dear friend.
    You are my sister,
    the perfect one that I love.
    To me you are like a beautiful dove.
Dew from the night air covers my head.
    My hair is very wet.’
