Read in context

Song of Solomon 5:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 I have come to my garden, my sister, my 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.

2 I sleep, but my heart is awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”

3 I have taken off my robe— must I put it back on? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again?

4 My beloved put his hand to the latch; my heart pounded for him.
