Song of Songs 1:5-6
Christian Standard Bible
5 Daughters of Jerusalem,(A)
I am dark like the tents of Kedar,(B)
yet lovely(C) like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
for the sun has gazed on me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;(D)
they made me take care of the vineyards.(E)
I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
Song of Songs 1:5-6
New International Version
5 Dark am I, yet lovely,(A)
daughters of Jerusalem,(B)
dark like the tents of Kedar,(C)
like the tent curtains of Solomon.[a]
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;(D)
my own vineyard I had to neglect.
