Song of Solomon 5:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ The ·watchmen [guards; ^Can ancient equivalent to police; 3:3] found me
    ·as they patrolled [those who make their rounds in] the city.
They hit me and ·hurt [bruised] me;
    the guards ·on the wall took away my veil [^Llifted my garments from me].
⁸ ·Promise me [I adjure you], ·women [^Ldaughters] of Jerusalem [1:5],
    if you find my lover,
·tell him [^Lwhat should you say to him? That] I am weak with love.

⁹ How is your lover better than other lovers,
    most beautiful of women?
How is your lover better than other lovers?
    Why do you want us to promise this?
