Song of Solomon 5:2-6 ▼

2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. There's a sound! My beloved is knocking. |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.|

3 |I've taken off my clothes — am I supposed to put them on again? I've washed my feet— am I supposed to get them dirty again?|

4 My beloved reached out his hand for the latch. My feelings for him were aroused.

5 I got up to open the door, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handle of the lock.

6 I opened the door for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away; he was gone! My very life went out when he departed. I searched for him, but couldn't find him. I called out to him, but he didn't answer.
