Song of Songs 5:5-8
New International Version
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,(A)
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved,(B)
but my beloved had left; he was gone.(C)
My heart sank at his departure.[a]
I looked(D) for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer.
7 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(E)
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those watchmen of the walls!
8 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(F)—
if you find my beloved,(G)
what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love.(H)
