Song of Solomon 3:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

I looked for him,
    but I could not find him.
³ The guards patrolling the city found me.
    I asked them, “Have you seen the man I love?”

⁴ I had just left the guards
    when I found the man I love!
I held him and would not let him go,
    while I took him to my mother’s house,
    to the room of one who bore^[a] me.
