Song of Solomon 1:5-6
New Living Translation
5 I am dark but beautiful,
O women of Jerusalem—
dark as the tents of Kedar,
dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents.
6 Don’t stare at me because I am dark—
the sun has darkened my skin.
My brothers were angry with me;
they forced me to care for their vineyards,
so I couldn’t care for myself—my own vineyard.
Song of Solomon 1:5-6
English Standard Version
She
5 I am very dark, but (A)lovely,
O (B)daughters of Jerusalem,
like (C)the tents of (D)Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My (E)mother's sons were angry with me;
they made me (F)keeper of (G)the vineyards,
but (H)my own vineyard I have not kept!
