## Song of Solomon 5:5 in Context (Verses 2–8 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/5/2) ¶ I sleep, but my heart waketh: *it is* the voice of my beloved that knocketh, *saying*, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, *and* my locks with the drops of the night.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/5/3) I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
 
 [4 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/5/4) My beloved put in his hand by the hole *of the door*, and my bowels were moved for him.*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/5/5) I 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.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/5/6) I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, *and* was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/5/7) 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.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/song-of-solomon/5/8) I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I *am* sick of love.*
