Song of Songs 5:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem,
    if you should find my beloved,
please tell him this:
    that I am sick with love.

⁹ In what way is your beloved better than any other,
    O fairest of women?
In what way is your beloved better than any other
    that you lay this charge upon us?

^10 [a]My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
    one who would stand out in a group of ten thousand.
