Eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, beloved ones! 2I slept, but my heart was awake. The voice of my beloved! he knocketh: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, mine undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night. 3— I have put off my tunic, how should I put it on? I have washed my feet, how should I pollute them? — 4My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door]; And my bowels yearned for him. 5I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the lock. 6I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself; he was gone: My soul went forth when he spoke. I sought him, but I found him not; I called him, but he gave me no answer. 7The watchmen that went about the city found me; They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. 8I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, ...What will ye tell him? — That I am sick of love. 9What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, Thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, That thou dost so charge us? 10My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand. 11His head is [as] the finest gold; His locks are flowing, black as the raven; 12His eyes are like doves by the water-brooks, Washed with milk, fitly set; 13His cheeks are as a bed of spices, raised beds of sweet plants; His lips lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. 14His hands gold rings, set with the chrysolite; His belly is bright ivory, overlaid [with] sapphires; 15His legs, pillars of marble, set upon bases of fine gold: His bearing as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars; 16His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. ‹Previous chapterSong of Solomon 4Next chapterSong of Solomon 6›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsSong of Solomon 5 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
