Jubilee2000 - Song of Solomon - 5

5:1  I came into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh and my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk: eat, O friends; drink, beloved, drink abundantly.

5:2  I sleep, but my heart watches [for] the voice of my beloved that knocks [at the door], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect [one]: for my head is filled with dew, [and] my locks with the drops of the night.

5:3  I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

5:4  My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door], and my bowels were moved for him.

5:5  I rose up to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped [with] myrrh, and my fingers [with] sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

5:6  I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had withdrawn himself [and] was gone; my soul went after his speech; I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

5:7  The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my outer cloak from me.

5:8  I charge you, O virgins of Jerusalem, if ye should find my beloved that ye cause him to know how sick I am with love.

5:9  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?

5:10  My beloved [is] white and ruddy; the standard-bearer among [the] ten thousands.

5:11  His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy [and] black as a raven.

5:12  His eyes [are] as doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, as doves that are next to abundance.

5:13  His cheeks [are] as a bed of aromatic spices, [as] fragrant flowers; his lips [like] lilies, dripping sweet smelling myrrh that transcends.

5:14  His hands [are as] gold rings set with beryls; his belly [is as] bright ivory overlaid [with] sapphires.

5:15  His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold; his countenance [is] as Lebanon, chosen as the cedars.

5:16  His mouth [is] most sweet; he [is] altogether lovely. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend, O virgins of Jerusalem.:
