Song of Solomon 5:2-7

Amplified Bible

² 
“I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
A voice [in my dream]! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, my sister, my darling,
My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is drenched with the [heavy night] dew;
My hair [is covered] with the dampness of the night.’^(A)
3 
“I had taken off my dress,
How can I put it on again?
I had washed my feet,
How could I get them dirty again?^(B)
4 
“My beloved extended his hand through the opening [of the door],
And my feelings were aroused for him.
⁵ 
“I arose to open for my beloved;
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
And my fingers with liquid [sweet-scented] myrrh,
On the handles of the bolt.
⁶ 
“I opened for my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My heart went out to him when he spoke.
I searched for him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he did not answer me.
⁷ 
“The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The guardsmen of the walls took my shawl from me.
