I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? 4My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door], and my bowels were moved for him. 5I rose up to open to my beloved: and my hands dropped [with] myrrh, and my fingers [with] sweet-smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. 6I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. 7The watchmen that went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 vail from me. 8I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick with love. 9What [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O 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 chief among ten thousand. 11His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven. 12His eyes [are] as [the eyes] of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, [and] fitly set. 13His cheeks [are] as a bed of spices, [as] sweet flowers: his lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet-smelling myrrh. 14His hands [are as] gold rings set with the beryl: his belly [is as] bright ivory overlaid [with] sapphires. 15His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. 16His mouth [is] most sweet: yes, he [is] altogether lovely. This [is] my beloved, and 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.
