King James Version with Apocrypha
"I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?"
— Song Of Solomon 5:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?”
“I have put off my garment; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? ”
“I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?”
“The Beloved to Her Lover:“I have already taken off my robe– must I put it on again? I have already washed my feet– must I soil them again?””
“I have put off my garment, how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?”
“I have put off my coat; how may I put it on? My feet are washed; how may I make them unclean?”
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: 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; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
