Song of Songs 5:2-4
New International Version
She
2 I slept but my heart was awake.
Listen! My beloved is knocking:
“Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove,(A) my flawless(B) one.(C)
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 I have taken off my robe—
must I put it on again?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again?
4 My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
my heart began to pound for him.

The Bride Searches for Her Beloved
She
2 I slept, but my heart was awake.
A sound! My beloved is (A)knocking.
“Open to me, my (B)sister, my (C)love,
my (D)dove, my (E)perfect one,
for my head is wet with dew,
my (F)locks with the drops of the night.”
3 (G)I had put off my garment;
how could I put it on?
I had (H)bathed my feet;
how could I soil them?
4 My beloved put his hand to the latch,
and my heart was thrilled within me.
