Song of Solomon 5

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 "I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse; 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, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."

2 "I sleep, but my heart waketh; it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, `Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew and my locks with the drops of the night.'

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

4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my heart was moved for him.

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.

6 I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul failed when he spoke; I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

7 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.

8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him that I am sick with love."

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?"

10 "My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

11 His head is as the most fine gold; his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.

13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers; his lips like lilies, dropping sweetsmelling myrrh.

14 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl; his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.

15 His legs are as pillars of marble set upon sockets of fine gold; his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

16 His mouth is most sweet; yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem."

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 My bride, my sister, I will come to my garden. I will gather my myrrh with my spice. I will eat my honeycomb with my honey. I will drink my wine with my milk. Eat, my friends! Drink and become intoxicated with expressions of love!

2 I sleep, but my mind is awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking. Open to me, my true love, my sister, my dove, my perfect one. My head is wet with dew, my hair with the dewdrops of night.

3 I have taken off my clothes! Why should I put them on [again]? I have washed my feet! Why should I get them dirty [again]?

4 My beloved put his hand through the keyhole. My heart throbbed for him.

5 I got up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers were drenched with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.

6 I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away. He was gone! I almost died when he left. I looked for him, but I did not find him. I called for him, but he did not answer me.

7 The watchmen making their rounds in the city found me. They struck me! They wounded me! Those watchmen on the walls took my robe from me!

8 Young women of Jerusalem, swear to me that if you find my beloved you will tell him I am hopelessly lovesick.

9 Most beautiful of women, what makes your beloved better than any other beloved? What makes your beloved better than any other beloved that you make us swear this way?

10 My beloved is dazzling yet ruddy. He stands out among 10,000 men.

11 His head is the finest gold. His hair is wavy, black as a raven.

12 His eyes are set like doves bathing in milk.

13 His cheeks are like a garden of spices, a garden that produces scented herbs. His lips are lilies that drip with myrrh.

14 His hands are disks of gold set with emerald. His chest is a block of ivory covered with sapphires.

15 His legs are columns of marble set on bases of pure gold. His form is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

16 His mouth is sweet in every way. Everything about him is desirable! This is my beloved, and this is my friend, young women of Jerusalem.
