Song of Solomon 5 (WEBP)

[1] I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
[2] I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
[3] I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
[4] My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
[5] I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
[6] I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.
[7] The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
[8] I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.
[9] How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?
[10] My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
[11] His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
[12] His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
[13] His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
[14] His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
[15] His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
[16] His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

Song of Solomon 5 (KJVS)

[1] I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: Eat, O friends; Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
[2] I sleep, but my heart waketh: It is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, My dove, my undefiled: For my head is filled with dew, And my locks with the drops of the night.
[3] I have put off my coat; How shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; How shall I defile them?
[4] My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, And my bowels were moved for him.
[5] I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, Upon the handles of the lock.
[6] I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: My soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
[7] The watchmen that went about the city found me, They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
[8] I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, That ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
[9] What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, That thou dost so charge us?
[10] My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand.
[11] His head is as the most fine gold, His locks are bushy, And black as a raven.
[12] His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, Washed with milk, and fitly set.
[13] His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
[14] His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: His belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
[15] His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
[16] His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
