Song of Songs 5

1 Christ awaketh the Church with his calling. 2 The Church having a taste of Christ's love is sick of love. 9 A description of Christ by his graces.

 5:1 ¶ I am come 935 z8804 into my garden, 1588 my sister, 269 [my] spouse: 3618 I have gathered 717 z8804 my myrrh 4753 with x5973 my spice; 1313 I have eaten 398 z8804 my honeycomb 3293 with x5973 my honey; 1706 I have drunk 8354 z8804 my wine 3196 with x5973 my milk: 2461 eat, 398 z8798 O friends; 7453 drink, 8354 z8798 yea, drink abundantly, 7937 z8798 O beloved. 1730

 5:2 ¶ I x589 sleep, 3463 but my heart 3820 waketh: 5782 z8802 [it is] the voice 6963 of my beloved 1730 that knocketh, 1849 z8802 [saying], Open 6605 z8798 to me, my sister, 269 my love, 7474 my dove, 3123 my undefiled: 8535 for my head 7218 x7945 is filled 4390 z8738 with dew, 2919 [and] my locks 6977 with the drops 7447 of the night. 3915

 5:3 I have put off 6584 z8804 x853 my coat; 3801 how 349 shall I put it on? 3847 z8799 I have washed 7364 z8804 x853 my feet; 7272 how 349 shall I defile 2936 z8762 them?

 5:4 My beloved 1730 put in 7971 z8804 his hand 3027 by 4480 the hole 2356 [of the door], and my bowels 4578 were moved 1993 z8804 for x5921 him.

 5:5 I x589 rose up 6965 z8804 to open 6605 z8800 to my beloved; 1730 and my hands 3027 dropped 5197 z8804 [with] myrrh, 4753 and my fingers 676 [with] sweet smelling 5674 z8802 myrrh, 4753 upon x5921 the handles 3709 of the lock. 4514

 5:6 I x589 opened 6605 z8804 to my beloved; 1730 but my beloved 1730 had withdrawn 2559 z8804 himself, [and] was gone: 5674 z8804 my soul 5315 failed 3318 z8804 when he spake: 1696 z8763 I sought 1245 z8765 him, but I could not x3808 find 4672 z8804 him; I called 7121 z8804 him, but he gave me no answer. 6030 z8804 x3808

 5:7 The watchmen 8104 z8802 that went about 5437 z8802 the city 5892 found 4672 z8804 me, they smote 5221 z8689 me, they wounded 6481 z8804 me; the keepers 8104 z8802 of the walls 2346 took away 5375 z8804 x853 my veil 7289 from x4480 x5921 me.

 5:8 I charge 7650 z8689 you, O daughters 1323 of Jerusalem, 3389 if x518 ye find 4672 z8799 x853 my beloved, 1730 that x4100 ye tell 5046 z8686 him, that I x589 [am] sick 2470 z8802 x7945 of love. 160

 5:9 ¶ What x4100 [is] thy beloved 1730 more than [another] beloved, 1730 x4480 O thou fairest 3303 among women? 802 what x4100 [is] thy beloved 1730 more than [another] beloved, 1730 x4480 that thou y3602 dost so x7945 x3602 charge 7650 z8689 us?

 5:10 My beloved 1730 [is] white 6703 and ruddy, 122 the chiefest 1713 z8803 among ten thousand. 7233 x4480

 5:11 His head 7218 [is as] the most 3800 fine gold, 6337 his locks 6977 [are] bushy, 8534 [and] black 7838 as a raven. 6158

 5:12 His eyes 5869 [are] as [the eyes] of doves 3123 by x5921 the rivers 650 of waters, 4325 washed 7364 z8801 with milk, 2461 [and] fitly set. 3427 4402 z8802

 5:13 His cheeks 3895 [are] as a bed 6170 of spices, 1314 [as] sweet 4840 flowers: 4026 his lips 8193 [like] lilies, 7799 dropping 5197 z8802 sweet smelling 5674 z8802 myrrh. 4753

 5:14 His hands 3027 [are as] gold 2091 rings 1550 set 4390 z8794 with the beryl: 8658 his belly 4578 [is as] bright 6247 ivory 8127 overlaid 5968 z8794 [with] sapphires. 5601

 5:15 His legs 7785 [are as] pillars 5982 of marble, 8336 set 3245 z8794 upon x5921 sockets 134 of fine gold: 6337 his countenance 4758 [is] as Lebanon, 3844 excellent 977 z8803 as the cedars. 730

 5:16 His mouth 2441 [is] most sweet: 4477 yea, he [is] altogether x3605 lovely. 4261 This x2088 [is] my beloved, 1730 and this x2088 [is] my friend, 7453 O daughters 1323 of Jerusalem. 3389
