Song of Songs 5:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ My love put his hand through the opening.
    My heart began to pound for him.
⁵ I got up to open the door for my love.
    My hands dripped with myrrh.
It flowed from my fingers
    onto the handles of the lock.
⁶ I opened the door for my love.
    But he had left and was gone.
    My heart sank because he had left.
I looked for him but didn’t find him.
    I called out to him, but he didn’t answer.
