Song of Solomon 5:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ The watchmen found me
    as they patrolled the city.
They hit me; they hurt me.
    The guards on the wall took away my coat.
⁸ I tell you, women of Jerusalem,
    if you find my lover,
    tell him I am weak with love.

⁹ Is your lover better than other lovers,
    you, the most beautiful of women?
Is your lover better than other lovers?
    Is that why you talk like this?
