Song of Solomon 5:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

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

⁹ “^[a][b]What kind of beloved is your beloved,
O ^(D)most beautiful among women?
^[c]What kind of beloved is your beloved,
That thus you adjure us?”
