5:8. I charge you—The Foolish Virgin class continues.
O daughters of Jerusalem—O all who profess to love Him.
If ye find my Beloved—If you yourself expect to be of the Bride class.
That ye tell Him—In my behalf.
That I am sick of love—Hungering for His companionship, longing to see His face, despite the fact that I did not open to Him promptly.
5:9. What is thy Beloved—The Lord's professed people, now in nominal Zion, speak.
More than another beloved—Why is Christ any more to you than He is to me?
O thou fairest among women—The Lord's professed people in nominal Zion begin to awake to the fact that the last of the spiritually-minded ones are leaving them.
What is thy Beloved—To you.
More than another beloved—To another.
