Song of Solomon 5:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love. I am sick of love - "I am exceedingly concerned for his absence; and am distressed on account of my thoughtless carriage towards him." The latter clause may be well translated, "What should ye tell him?" Why, "that I am sick of love." This ends the transactions of the third day and night.
