And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.
To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is!
You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”
On my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not. I will rise now and go about the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but found him not. The watchmen found me as they went about in the city. “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?” Scarcely had I passed them when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her who conceived me.
When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies; I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments.
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
