Song of Songs 5:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version
I Have Come Into My Garden
The Man
5 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride.
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey.
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat and Drink
The Friends Address the Couple[a]
Eat, friends! Drink!
Be intoxicated with love!
At Night. . .the Watchmen
The Woman
2 I was sleeping but my heart was awake.
A sound! My lover is knocking:
“Open to me, my sister,
my darling, my dove, my perfect one,
because my head is soaked with dew,
my locks with the dampness of the night.”
3 “I have taken off my robe.
Why should I get dressed again?
I have washed my feet.
Why should I get them dirty again?”
