Song of Solomon 5:5-7
International Standard Version
5 I got up to open the door,[a]
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handle of the lock.
6 I opened the door[b] for my beloved,
but my beloved had turned away; he was gone!
My very life went out when he departed.[c]
I searched for him,
but couldn’t find him.
I called out to him,
but he didn’t answer.
7 The watchmen making their[d] rounds
through the city found me.
They beat me, they bruised me.
Those guarding the walls took my cloak[e] from me.
