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.

The Bride
5 “I am black and (A)beautiful,
You (B)daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the (C)tents of (D)Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not stare at me because I am [a]dark,
For the sun has tanned me.
My (E)mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me (F)caretaker of the vineyards,
But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
