Song of Solomon 1:7-8
International Children’s Bible
7 Tell me, you whom I love,
where do you feed your sheep?
Where do you make them rest at noon?
Why should I look for you near your friend’s sheep?
Am I like a woman who wears a veil?[a]
The Man Speaks to the Woman
8 You are the most beautiful of women.
Surely you know to follow the sheep.
Feed your young goats
near the shepherds’ tents.

beside the flocks of your friends?

follow the tracks of the sheep
and graze your young goats
by the tents of the shepherds.
