← Song of Solomon 5:7	Song of Solomon 5:8 (KJV)	Song of Solomon 5:9 →
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.	I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick of love.	What [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? what [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
