Song of Solomon 5:2-4

International Standard Version

² I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
    There’s a sound! My beloved is knocking.

“Open up for me, my sister, my darling,
    my dove, my perfect one.
For my head is drenched with dew,
    my hair with the dampness of the night.”

³ “I’ve taken off my clothes^[a]—
    am I supposed to put them on again?^[b]
I’ve washed my feet—
    am I supposed to^[c] get them dirty again?”
⁴ My beloved reached out his hand for the latch.^[d]
    My feelings for him were aroused.
