Song of Solomon 5:5-7
Revised Standard Version
Song of Solomon 5:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 I arose to open to my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
upon the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened to my beloved,
but my beloved had turned and gone.
My soul failed me when he spoke.
I sought him, but found him not;
I called him, but he gave no answer.
7 The watchmen found me,
as they went about in the city;
they beat me, they wounded me,
they took away my mantle,
those watchmen of the walls.

5 I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,(A)
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved,(B)
but my beloved had left; he was gone.(C)
My heart sank at his departure.[a]
I looked(D) for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer.
7 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(E)
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those watchmen of the walls!
