Song of Solomon 5:2-4
International Standard Version
The Loved One
2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
There’s a sound! My beloved is knocking.
The Lover
“Open up for me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
For my head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
The Loved One
3 “I’ve taken off my clothes[a]—
am I supposed to put them on again?[b]
I’ve washed my feet—
am I supposed to[c] get them dirty again?”
4 My beloved reached out his hand for the latch.[d]
My feelings for him were aroused.
