Song of Songs 5:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 My lover put his hand in through the opening:
my innermost being[a] trembled because of him.
5 I rose to open for my lover,
my hands dripping myrrh:
My fingers, flowing myrrh
upon the handles of the lock.
6 I opened for my lover—
but my lover had turned and gone!
At his leaving, my soul sank.
I sought him, but I did not find him;
I called out after him, but he did not answer me.[b]
