Song of Solomon 5:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake. [I dreamed that I heard] the voice of my beloved as he knocked [at the door of my mother’s cottage]. Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my spotless one [he said], for I am wet with the [heavy] night dew; my hair is covered with it.^(A)

³ [But weary from a day in the vineyards, I had already sought my rest] I had put off my garment—^[a]how could I [again] put it on? I had washed my feet—how could I [again] soil them?^(B)

⁴ My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my heart was moved for him.
