Beloved
I was asleep, but my heart was awake. Rev 3:20Sng 2:14Sng 6:9Zec 4:1Psa 119:1Gen 29:20Gen 31:40-41Isa 50:6
It is the voice of my beloved who knocks:
“Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled;
for my head is filled with dew,
and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? Luk 11:7Mat 25:5Mat 26:38-43Pro 13:4Pro 22:13Pro 3:28Rom 7:22-23
I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. 1Ki 3:262Co 8:1-22Co 8:16Act 16:14Gen 43:30Php 2:13Psa 110:3Sng 1:4

my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handles of the lock.
I opened to my beloved; Sng 5:2Hos 5:15Rev 3:191Sa 28:62Sa 16:10Gen 42:28Hos 5:6Isa 12:1
but my beloved left, and had gone away.
My heart went out when he spoke.
I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
I called him, but he didn’t answer.
The watchmen who go about the city found me. Sng 3:31Co 4:10-131Pe 4:14-162Co 11:13Act 20:29-30Act 26:9-10Act 5:40-41Heb 11:36-37
They beat me.
They bruised me.
The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, Sng 2:5Sng 2:7Psa 42:1-3Sng 3:5Gal 6:1-2Psa 119:81-83Psa 63:1-3Psa 77:1-3
If you find my beloved,
that you tell him that I am faint with love.
