Song of Songs 5:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 I have taken off my robe;
must I put it on again?
I have bathed my feet;
must I soil them again?[a]
4 My beloved thrust his hand through the opening in the door,[b]
and my heart began to tremble.
5 I arose to open to my beloved
with myrrh dripping from my hands;
the liquid myrrh from my fingers
ran onto the handle of the bolt.
