SONG OF SOLOMON
Chapter 5
| Song | LEB | 5:1 | I have come to my garden, my sister 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, O friends! ⌞Drink and become drunk with love⌟! | |
| Song | LEB | 5:2 | I was asleep but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved knocking! “Open to me, my sister, my beloved, my dove, my perfect one! For my head is full of dew, ⌞my hair drenched from the moist night air⌟.” | |
| Song | LEB | 5:3 | I have taken off my tunic, ⌞must I put it on⌟? I have bathed my feet, ⌞must I soil them⌟? | |
| Song | LEB | 5:5 | I myself arose to open to my beloved; my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh upon the handles of the bolt. | |
| Song | LEB | 5:6 | I opened myself to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone; my heart sank when he turned away. I sought him, but I did not find him; I called him, but he did not answer me. | |
| Song | LEB | 5:7 | The sentinels making rounds in the city found me; they beat me, they wounded me; they took my cloak away from me— ⌞those sentinels on the walls⌟! | |
| Song | LEB | 5:8 | I adjure you, ⌞O maidens of Jerusalem⌟, if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him that I am ⌞lovesick⌟! | |
| Song | LEB | 5:9 | ⌞How is your beloved better than another lover⌟, O most beautiful among women? ⌞How is your beloved better than another lover⌟, that you adjure us thus? | |
| Song | LEB | 5:12 | His eyes are like doves beside springs of water, bathed in milk, ⌞set like mounted jewels⌟. | |
| Song | LEB | 5:13 | His cheeks are like beds of spice, a tower of fragrances; his lips are lilies dripping liquid myrrh. | |
| Song | LEB | 5:14 | His arms are ⌞rods⌟ of gold ⌞engraved with⌟ jewels; his belly is polished ivory covered with sapphires. | |
| Song | LEB | 5:15 | His legs are columns of alabaster, set on bases of gold; his appearance is like Lebanon, choice as ⌞its cedars⌟. | |
