Song of Solomon 5:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
I have taken off my robe— must I put it back on? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again?
In context
1 I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink; drink freely, O beloved.
2 I sleep, but my heart is awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 I have taken off my robe— must I put it back on? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again?
4 My beloved put his hand to the latch; my heart pounded for him.
5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh on the handles of the bolt.
