Song of Solomon 5:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 My beloved thrust his hand into the opening,
    and my inmost yearned for him.
5 I myself arose to open to my beloved;
    my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh
    upon the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened myself to my beloved,
    but my beloved had turned and gone;[a]
my heart sank[b] when he turned away.[c]
I sought him, but I did not find him;
    I called him, but he did not answer me.
