1 I am come|strong="H0935" into my garden|strong="H1588", my sister|strong="H0269", my spouse|strong="H3618": I have gathered|strong="H0717" my myrrh|strong="H4753" with my spice|strong="H1313"; I have eaten|strong="H0398" my honeycomb|strong="H3293" with my honey|strong="H1706"; I have drunk|strong="H8354" my wine|strong="H3196" with my milk|strong="H2461": eat|strong="H0398", O friends|strong="H7453"; drink|strong="H8354", yea, drink abundantly|strong="H7937", O beloved|strong="H1730".
2 I sleep|strong="H3463", but my heart|strong="H3820" waketh|strong="H5782": it is the voice|strong="H6963" of my beloved|strong="H1730" that knocketh|strong="H1849", saying, Open|strong="H6605" to me, my sister|strong="H0269", my love|strong="H7474", my dove|strong="H3123", my undefiled|strong="H8535": for my head|strong="H7218" is filled|strong="H4390" with dew|strong="H2919", and my locks|strong="H6977" with the drops|strong="H7447" of the night|strong="H3915".
3 I have put off|strong="H6584" my coat|strong="H3801"; how|strong="H0349" shall I put it on|strong="H3847"? I have washed|strong="H7364" my feet|strong="H7272"; how|strong="H0349" shall I defile|strong="H2936" them?
4 My beloved|strong="H1730" put in|strong="H7971" his hand|strong="H3027" by|strong="H4480" the hole|strong="H2356" of the door, and my bowels|strong="H4578" were moved|strong="H1993" for him.
5 I rose up|strong="H6965" to open|strong="H6605" to my beloved|strong="H1730"; and my hands|strong="H3027" dropped|strong="H5197" with myrrh|strong="H4753", and my fingers|strong="H0676" with sweet smelling|strong="H5674" myrrh|strong="H4753", upon the handles|strong="H3709" of the lock|strong="H4514".

13 His cheeks|strong="H3895" are as a bed|strong="H6170" of spices|strong="H1314", as sweet|strong="H4840" flowers|strong="H4026": his lips|strong="H8193" like lilies|strong="H7799", dropping|strong="H5197" sweet smelling|strong="H5674" myrrh|strong="H4753".
