Song of Solomon 5:7DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 7 of 16

"The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me."
Song of Solomon 5:7

In context

5I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped myrrh, and my fingers sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

6I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

7The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

8I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I sick of love.

9What thy beloved more than beloved, O thou fairest among women? what thy beloved more than beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
