SONG OF SOLOMON
Chapter 5
| Song | NHEBME | 5:1 | 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. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved. Beloved | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:2 | 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." | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:3 | I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them? | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:5 | I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock. | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:6 | 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 did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer. | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:7 | 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. | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:8 | I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:9 | 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? Beloved | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:12 | His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels. | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:13 | His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:14 | His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires. | |
| Song | NHEBME | 5:15 | His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. | |
