22:005:003 I have put off my coat; how shall I put
it on? I have washed
my
feet; how shall I defile them?
22:005:004 My beloved put in his hand by the hole
of the door, and my
bowels
were moved for him.
22:005:005 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my
hands dropped with
myrrh,
and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the
handles
of the lock.
22:005:006 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had withdrawn himself,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.
22:005:007 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.
22:005:008 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
if ye find my beloved,
that
ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
22:005:009 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?
22:005:010 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest
among ten
thousand.
22:005:011 His head is as the most fine gold, his
locks are bushy, and
black
as a raven.
22:005:012 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the
rivers of waters,
washed
with milk, and fitly set.
22:005:013 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet
flowers: his lips
like
lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
22:005:014 His hands are as gold rings set with the
beryl: his belly is
as
bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
22:005:015 His legs are as pillars of marble, set
upon sockets of fine
gold:
his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
22:005:016 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is
altogether lovely. This is
my
beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
22:006:001 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest
among women?
whither
is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with
thee.
22:006:002 My beloved is gone down into his garden,
to the beds of
spices,
to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
22:006:003 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved
is mine: he feedeth among
the
lilies.
22:006:004 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah,
comely as Jerusalem,
terrible
as an army with banners.
22:006:005 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they
have overcome me: thy
hair
is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
22:006:006 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which
go up from the
washing,
whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one
barren
among them.
