Song of Solomon 5:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ The ^(A)watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,
They struck me and wounded me;
The guards of the walls took my shawl away from me.
^8 (B)Swear to me, you daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
As to what you will tell him:
For ^(C)I am lovesick.”

⁹ “^[a]What kind of beloved is your beloved,
O ^(D)most beautiful among women?
^[b]What kind of beloved is your beloved,
That you make us swear in this way?”
