Song of Solomon 1:7-8
Revised Standard Version
7 Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
where you pasture your flock,
where you make it lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who wanders[a]
beside the flocks of your companions?
8 If you do not know,
O fairest among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your kids
beside the shepherds’ tents.

American Standard Version
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth,
Where thou feedest thy flock,
Where thou makest it to rest at noon:
For why should I be as one that is veiled
Beside the flocks of thy companions?
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women,
Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock,
And feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.

where you graze your flock
and where you rest your sheep(A) at midday.

beside the flocks of your friends?

8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,(C)
follow the tracks of the sheep
and graze your young goats
by the tents of the shepherds.
