Song of Solomon 5:6

---

← Song of Solomon 5:5	Song of Solomon 5:6 (KJV)	Song of Solomon 5:7 →
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped [with] myrrh, and my fingers [with] sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.	I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.	The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
