Song of Songs 5:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ The guards who go about the city found me.^(A)
They beat and wounded me;
they took my cloak^[a] from me—
the guardians of the walls.^(B)
8 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you,^(C)
if you find my love,
tell him that I am lovesick.^(D)

⁹ What makes the one you love better than another,
most beautiful of women?^(E)
What makes him better than another,
that you would give us this charge?
