Song of Solomon 5:5-7

Song of Solomon 5:5-7
New King James Version
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
6 I opened for my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My [a]heart leaped up when he spoke.
(A)I sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 (B)The watchmen who went about the city found me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
