My beloved had withdrawn Denied me his comfortable presence, as a just punishment for my former neglect. My soul failed Hebrew, went out of me. I fainted, and was ready to die away; when he spake Or, for what he spake; for those endearing expressions related Song of Solomon 5:2, which then I did not heed. I sought him By diligent inquiry and importunate prayer.

Song of Solomon 5:6

6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
