I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?\n \n4\u00a0My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.\n \n5\u00a0I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.\n \n6\u00a0I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.\n \n7\u00a0The watchmen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.\n \n8\u00a0I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.\n \n9\u00a0What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?\n \n10\u00a0My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.\n \n11\u00a0His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.\n \n12\u00a0His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.\n \n13\u00a0His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.\n \n14\u00a0His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.\n \n15\u00a0His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.\n \n16\u00a0His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.","title":"King James Version: Song of Solomon (Canticles): Song of Solomon (Canticles) Chapter 5","type":"page"}
