Song of Solomon 5:7 in context

  1. 5I rose up to open for my beloved.
    My hands dripped with myrrh,
    my fingers with liquid myrrh,
    on the handles of the lock.
  2. 6I opened to my beloved;
    but my beloved left, and had gone away.
    My heart went out when he spoke.
    I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
    I called him, but he didn’t answer.
  3. 7The watchmen who go about the city found me.
    They beat me.
    They bruised me.
    The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
  4. 8I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
    If you find my beloved,
    that you tell him that I am faint with love.
  5. 9How is your beloved better than another beloved,
    you fairest among women?
    How is your beloved better than another beloved,
    that you do so adjure us?
