Song of Solomon 5:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ I jumped up to open it, and my hands dripped with perfume, my fingers with lovely myrrh as I pulled back the bolt. ⁶ I opened to my beloved, but he was gone. My heart stopped. I searched for him but couldn’t find him anywhere. I called to him, but there was no reply. ⁷ The guards found me and struck and wounded me. The watchman on the wall tore off my veil.
