Verse in context โ€” Song of Solomon 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.

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.
