Eat, O friends, drink, Yea, drink abundantly, O beloved ones! 2I am sleeping, but my heart waketh: The sound of my beloved knocking! `Open to me, my sister, my friend, My dove, my perfect one, For my head is filled with dew, My locks with drops of the night.' 3I have put off my coat, how do I put it on? I have washed my feet, how do I defile them? 4My beloved sent his hand from the net-work, And my bowels were moved for him. 5I rose to open to my beloved, And my hands dropped myrrh, Yea, my fingers flowing myrrh, On the handles of the lock. 6I opened to my beloved, But my beloved withdrew--he passed on, My soul went forth when he spake, I sought him, and found him not. I called him, and he answered me not. 7The watchmen who go round about the city, Found me, smote me, wounded me, Keepers of the walls lifted up my veil from off me. 8I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved--What do ye tell him? that I am sick with love! 9What is thy beloved above any beloved, O fair among women? What is thy beloved above any beloved, That thus thou hast adjured us? 10My beloved is clear and ruddy, Conspicuous above a myriad! 11His head is pure gold--fine gold, His locks flowing, dark as a raven, 12His eyes as doves by streams of water, Washing in milk, sitting in fulness. 13His cheeks as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, His lips are lilies, dropping flowing myrrh, 14His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, His heart bright ivory, covered with sapphires, 15His limbs pillars of marble, Founded on sockets of fine gold, His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars. 16His mouth is sweetness--and all of him desirable, This is my beloved, and this 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.
