Song of Solomon 5:1-5 AMP

“I have come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam and spice [from your sweet words]. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends; Drink and drink deeply, O lovers.” [John 16:33] ¶“I was asleep, but my heart was awake. A voice [in my dream]! My beloved was knocking: ‘Open to me, my sister, my darling, My dove, my perfect one! For my head is drenched with the [heavy night] dew; My hair [is covered] with the dampness of the night.’ [Job 11:13-15] “I had taken off my dress, How can I put it on again? I had washed my feet, How could I get them dirty again? [Is 32:9; Heb 3:15] “My beloved extended his hand through the opening [of the door], And my feelings were aroused for him. “I arose to open for my beloved; And my hands dripped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid [sweet-scented] myrrh, On the handles of the bolt.
