7 The watchmen who patrol the city found me:

They beat me, they wounded me; [[167]]

The keepers of the walls stripped me of my veiling garment.

8 I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,

If ye shall find my beloved,

What will ye tell him?

Tell him that I am sick of love.

DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM.

9 What is thy beloved more than another beloved,

O thou fairest among women?
