Song of Solomon 5:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ I opened the door for my lover.
    But my lover had left. He was gone.
    When he had spoken, he had taken my breath away.
I looked for him, but I could not find him.
    I called for him, but he did not answer me.
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.
