Song of Solomon 5:7-9
International Children’s Bible
7 The watchmen found me
as they patrolled the city.
They hit me; they hurt me.
The guards on the wall took away my coat.
8 I tell you, women of Jerusalem,
if you find my lover,
tell him I am weak with love.
The Friends Answer the Woman
9 Is your lover better than other lovers,
you, the most beautiful of women?
Is your lover better than other lovers?
Is that why you talk like this?

New International Version
7 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(A)
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those watchmen of the walls!
8 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(B)—
if you find my beloved,(C)
what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love.(D)
Friends
9 How is your beloved better than others,
most beautiful of women?(E)
How is your beloved better than others,
that you so charge us?
