← Song of Solomon 5:1	Song of Solomon 5:2 (KJV)	Song of Solomon 5:3 →
I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.	I sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, [and] my locks with the drops of the night.	I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
