Song of Solomon 3:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

² “I will get up now and roam the city,
through the streets and the open places,
I will look for the man I love.”
I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
³ The guards roaming the city found me.
“Have you seen the man I love?”
⁴ Scarcely had I left them,
when I found the man I love.
I took hold of him
and would not let him go
until I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the bedroom of the woman who conceived me.
