Song of Solomon 3:1–5
In my bed at nightJ
I sought the one I love;u
I sought him, but did not find him.K,v
2 I will arise now and go about the city,
through the streets and the plazas.w
I will seek the one I love.
I sought him, but did not find him.
3 The guards who go about the city found me.x
I asked them, “Have you seen the one I love?”
when I found the one I love.
I held on to him and would not let him go
until I brought him to my mother’s housey—
to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
5 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and the wild does of the field,
do not stir up or awaken love
