5:2 我身睡臥，我心卻醒。這是我良人的聲音；他敲門說：我的妹子，我的佳偶，我的鴿子，我的完全人，求你給我開門；因我的頭滿了露水，我的頭髮被夜露滴濕。
5:3 我回答說：我脫了衣裳，怎能再穿上呢？我洗了腳，怎能再玷污呢？
5:4 我的良人從門孔裡伸進手來，我便因他動了心。
5:5 我起來，要給我良人開門。我的兩手滴下沒藥；我的指頭有沒藥汁滴在門閂上。
5:6 我給我的良人開了門；我的良人卻已轉身走了。他說話的時候，我神不守舍；我尋找他，竟尋不見；我呼叫他，他卻不回答。
5:7 城中巡邏看守的人遇見我，打了我，傷了我；看守城牆的人奪去我的披肩。
5:8 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊，我囑咐你們：若遇見我的良人，要告訴他，我因思愛成病。

2 I slept but my heart was awake.
Listen! 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 on again?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again?
4 My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
my heart began to pound for him.
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved,
but my beloved had left; he was gone.
My heart sank at his departure.[a]
I looked for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer.
7 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those watchmen of the walls!
8 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—
if you find my beloved,
what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love.

男女的關係常常是撲朔迷離：在一起的時候，互相吵來吵去；不在一起的時候，又彼此思念！
女子為了「脫了衣裳、我洗了腳」的理由，而不理男子，雖然他敲門說：「我的妹子，我的佳偶，我的鴿子，我的完全人，求你給我開門；因我的頭滿了露水，我的頭髮被夜露滴濕。」
然而她真的起來的時候，卻找不到男子！她為了找男子，歷盡千辛萬苦，如經文所說：「他說話的時候，我神不守舍；我尋找他，竟尋不見；我呼叫他，他卻不回答。城中巡邏看守的人遇見我，打了我，傷了我；看守城牆的人奪去我的披肩。」
也因此女子說：「耶路撒冷的眾女子啊，我囑咐你們：若遇見我的良人，要告訴他，我因思愛成病。」
女子思念他的良人，而我們思念耶穌基督，我們更是盼望耶穌基督的再來，如同女子盼望良人一般！然而，耶穌基督必定會再來帶領我們進入上帝國的榮耀中，使我們享受永生之福。
