Song of Solomon 5:7-9
Lexham English Bible

7 The sentinels making rounds in the city found me;
    they beat me, they wounded me;
they took my cloak[a] away from me—
    those sentinels on the walls![b]

Adjuration Refrain

8 I adjure you, O maidens of Jerusalem,[c]
    if you find my beloved, what will you tell him?
Tell him that I am lovesick![d]

Maiden’s Praise of Her Beloved

9 How is your beloved better than another lover,[e]
    O most beautiful among women?
How is your beloved better than another lover, [f]
    that you adjure us thus?
