Song of Solomon 5:8

Read in context

Song of Solomon 5:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My heart sank at his departure. I sought him, but did not find him. I called, but he did not answer.

7 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city. They beat me and bruised me; they took away my cloak, those guardians of the walls.

8 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you, if you find my beloved, tell him I am sick with love.

9 How is your beloved better than others, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another, that you charge us so?

10 My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
