King James Version (KJV)
Song of Solomon 5:8
“I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick of love.”
Verse in context — Song of Solomon 5
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
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.
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick of love.
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?
My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
